Humble Bundle will support Stop AAPI Hate, a national coalition aimed at addressing anti-Asian discrimination, over the coming weeks in a number of ways.
Two bundles, the Humble Burn Rubber Bundle and the Humble Software Bundle: Biggest Graphics Ever, launched this week, with a third bundle planned for April. A portion of proceeds from all three will be donated to Stop AAPI Hate. Stop AAPI Hate will also be Humble Bundle’s April charity of the month, with five percent of all sales proceeds being donated to the coalition.
