≥ 5 PERCENT
5% of all print sales and consulting is given back to the organizations below. Some of these organizations could change over time, but I will always donate at least 5%. I believe that in our capitalist society, it is important to use our money to support ethical businesses (esp. those of minorities) and those that help push standards and humanity forward. Although I am not a minority and my business does not provide a service that directly produces change, it is financially committed to supporting the vulnerable and organizations that directly stimulate reform. Additionally, I only work with small, local businesses in NYC to process, scan, and print all of my work. As my business expands, so will my efforts and, together, we can work toward a more equal, open, and sustainable planet. If you would like additional info, please reach out.
Equal Justice Initiative
EJI is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
Founded in 1989 by Bryan Stevenson, a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer and bestselling author of Just Mercy, EJI provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons. We challenge the death penalty and excessive punishment and we provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people.
EJI works with communities that have been marginalized by poverty and discouraged by unequal treatment. We are committed to changing the narrative about race in America. In 2018, EJI plans to build a national memorial to victims of lynching and open a museum that explores African American history from enslavement to mass incarceration.

Propublica
Founded in 2007, ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. Our work focuses exclusively on truly important stories, stories with “moral force.” We do this by producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them. In the best traditions of American journalism in the public service, we seek to stimulate positive change. We uncover unsavory practices in order to stimulate reform. We do this in an entirely non-partisan and non-ideological manner, adhering to the strictest standards of journalistic impartiality.
