Just going to copy a chunk of the statement on the page:
We live in a time of racial injustice, inequality, and police brutality against black people. We hope that everyone takes a stand in any way that they can. We’ve partnered with creators from all across our platform to support organizations that are working directly with those affected.
We reached out to our community and an unprecedented number of creators donated over 740 projects to be part of what we believe is the largest bundle ever. Over $3,400 of paid works are available Pay-what-you-want with a minimum donation amount of $5.
Games I've noticed that people might be interested in just for their inclusion:
Oxenfree
Bleed 1 + 2
Night in the Woods
Super Hexagon
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, And The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist
It should be noted that this isn't just video games. There are a bunch of TTRPGs in here too. Here are some that some people might have heard of: Blades in the Dark Lancer Troika: Numinous Edition...
It should be noted that this isn't just video games. There are a bunch of TTRPGs in here too. Here are some that some people might have heard of:
Blades in the Dark
Lancer
Troika: Numinous Edition + the Fronds of Benevolence module
For posterity, I found this list of TTRPGs in the bundle: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-G0nN2iRJcBOaIWhuXOMPFDnlPI053a7ocIMx5gxzu8/edit#gid=0

They've crossed over US$1,000,000 raised and are seeing the highest levels of sustained traffic in the lifetime of the site.
Also, interest check on if we want to do a gift drive for Tilderinos? We can't really pull out keys for interested people, but we can gift in their name and put down an email.
Would anyone be interested in doing a sort of Tildes group dive into these games this weekend? Some of the bigger names in the bundle have already been identified, but one of the neat things about...
Would anyone be interested in doing a sort of Tildes group dive into these games this weekend?
Some of the bigger names in the bundle have already been identified, but one of the neat things about itch.io in general and this bundle in particular is how many tiny, unheard-of games it has. I'm thinking we could have a thread here where people pick from among the lesser-known games at random, play them for 15 minutes, and then give their impressions, trying to surface some of the bundle's hidden gems.
I was on the fence with it, because that's a lot of games devs aren't getting paid for (by their own choice), but I realized you can always kick them some cash through the platform if you like any...
I was on the fence with it, because that's a lot of games devs aren't getting paid for (by their own choice), but I realized you can always kick them some cash through the platform if you like any specific game anyway. I donated as much as I was okay with (less than I wanted, considering the causes), and decided to stop overthinking it.
Just in case there's anyone wondering why the games aren't showing up in their account, apparently they're defaulting to hidden: This means that you'll have to go game by game to get them to show...
Just in case there's anyone wondering why the games aren't showing up in their account, apparently they're defaulting to hidden:
Note: Projects in this bundle are hidden in your library by default untill you first access them in order to avoid flooding your library. You can return to this page at any time to access any projects you wish to show in your library.
This means that you'll have to go game by game to get them to show up, which is less than ideal. I'm sure there's some automated way to do this, but their servers are already slammed bad enough that individually loading 1000+ links in quick succession seems like it would only make things worse. It does look like they're already well aware of this and are working on a solution:
Note: We will be updating this page soon, we know it's difficult to navigate so many games. We know you want a button to add show everything in your library. No need to reach out.
There's a good list here that you can use as a master list, with direct links to the itch.io store pages for each (as well as the Steam pages for games that are on both, but that's simply for informational purposes as this bundle does not give Steam keys).
Well I'll throw some money at it, even though I highly doubt I'll end up playing anything from the bundle. Not because of the quality of games or anything like that, but I just already have so...
Well I'll throw some money at it, even though I highly doubt I'll end up playing anything from the bundle. Not because of the quality of games or anything like that, but I just already have so many things to play that I will never finish them all. You know, thinking about it I would have been better off just donating directly to a charity, but oh well.

Looks like bundle total will be over a thousand very soon!
They have been added. The bundle is now
11441343 items, with over $3,000,000 raised so far. Genuinely incredible to see.It keeps growing! 1509 items at present. $4.3 million raised.
Great game that may or may not make you defenestrate your computer and check in to a mental asylum.
It should be noted that this isn't just video games. There are a bunch of TTRPGs in here too. Here are some that some people might have heard of:
Blades in the Dark
Lancer
Troika: Numinous Edition + the Fronds of Benevolence module
5$ for blades alone is a steal
Lancer also looks really cool, although I doubt I will get the opportunity to play it.

Looks like itch.io and devs are taking none of the cut, so you're equally as well off.
Oh man, quadrilateral cowboy!! So stylish
