All profits from this design will be 100 percent donated. As of now I am looking at donating to the American Liberties Civil Union and you can donate to them directly here at https://www.aclu.org/

I have connected my design with threadless because it has a decent profit margin without having to purchase all the items before hand and is shipped directly through their site. I plan on posting a running tally of the profits for this item.
