At GiveWP, we support all trans lives and stand strongly against any and all hate speech.

When people use their platforms to disenfranchise others, that's the opposite of Generosity.

Today we put that into action by removing our services from Marion Millar, and we're donating any fees we received from her fundraising to a Trans-rights charity in the UK.

Because our product is open source we cannot prevent it from being used in the wild. When we see our products being used to hurt, harm, or disenfranchise others we refuse service. Such is the case with Marion Millar.

.@aktcharity supports trans-rights (the T in LGBTQ+) in the UK. We will be supporting their mission by donating all of the proceeds we earned from fees related to Marion’s fundraiser.

For transparency and clarity: GiveWP earns money from Stripe, not the donors. We don't store or keep donations, they are not ours. None of the donations that went to Marion are impacted in any way.
