Yeah, I have the same concern. There wasn't an option in the BackerKit, and I've sent them an email with no response.

Rather than posting individual links, I feel like it's safe to say that the Film & Video section tends to offer more varied and deeper looks into issues of race, class, gender, etc. There's some good stuff there, so make sure to periodically check that category if that's something you're interested ...

Thank you for sharing. I think this is an excellent focus and I should move more in this direction. I have always included projects like these but maybe not a high enough percentage. I usually don't go looking for them either and that may change in the near future. I feel like there are Kickstarter...

Hey, whatever works! Here's this comic anthology focusing on teaching kids across the world through the United Nations.

Here's another comics project. This one focuses on presenting queer stories with a sci-fi bent. I got the digital version since the +$10 shipping was a little steep for a physical reward. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/335445879/the-beyond-anthology Warning: The pledging system seems a little ...

Chainmail Bikini is an anthology comic collection by women gamers. It features women telling tales of their experiences (or others' experiences) playing video games, card games, board games, RPGs, etc. They do not have any fancy stretch goals, however, more importantly, their focus on raising more m...

I certainly am more attracted to campaigns that promote or support diversity however I won't back them automatically.
