What GoAmour is
A platform dedicated to life, human rights and digital rights.
GoAmour.com is dedicated to life, human rights and digital rights. Promoting life and our shared values is what this site is all about.
We work with artists, authors, community leaders, organizers and non-governmental agencies to promote and safeguard our shared principles. Through music, comedy, poetry and dialogue, GoAmour brings people together to discuss views and a philosophy towards promoting life.
The GoAmour Principles — ten principles with a policy of addition, not subtraction — are the framework for everything here. Anyone invited to take part is welcome to add to the list.
Why it was created
There are not enough days in a year to mark every genocide and crime of war.
Every year people around the world mark Memorial Day, Hiroshima Day, Veterans Day and more. After participating in and holding events for Hiroshima Day and other markers of the inhumanity of mankind, founder Vahid Razavi decided to stop marking the inhumanity of war. This is not an attempt to forget the pain and suffering caused by war and destruction, but rather to focus on what can bring us together to see above global conflicts.
We cannot keep commemorating war every year — and the people who participate in and cause them — and expect different results for the future. Our goal is to share the philosophy for the living.
GoAmour also brings attention to aid workers, nurses, doctors and the people dealing with the gruesome impact of war and its destruction, and to the victims of war and global conflicts, so that we can end the inhumanity of war.
Either we learn to live in peace and harmony, or wait for the doomsday clock to strike midnight.

Meet the founder
Vahid Razavi
Iranian-American documentary filmmaker, author and human rights advocate. vahidrazavi.com
Vahid Razavi is an Iranian-American documentary filmmaker, author and human rights advocate. He spent three decades in the technology industry — from data centres and managed services in 1997, through enterprise search, CRM and the rise of cloud computing and big data, including his own company BizCloud and a period inside Amazon Web Services — before turning to accountability work.
At Amazon Web Services he was a Senior Alliances Manager for Big Data and Analytics. Before Amazon he was CEO of BizCloud®, where he developed the organization’s legal strategy and managed sales, engineering, marketing and day-to-day operations. BizCloud was drawn into a legal battle and lawsuit by Computer Sciences Corporation — now known as DXC Technology — over its registered trademark. In 2014, after being forced to settle with CSC and subsequently shutting down BizCloud’s operations, he attempted to take his own life. He has since brought the BizCloud site back and hopes to use it to promote progressive, ethical companies and businesses.
Earlier, he was Director of Channels and Alliances at FAST Search & Transfer, which Microsoft acquired for $1.2 billion in December 2007, and before that VP of North American Sales and Marketing for Neocase Software, a French CRM company.
For sixteen years he has been building Forever Peace Now, a feature documentary and ongoing archive drawn from interviews with Silicon Valley leaders, human rights defenders and families affected by war and corporate harm. The project includes ParentsPlea.com, a living memorial holding more than 142,500 researched records of lives lost to war, genocide, state violence and corporate crime; the GoAmour Principles, a framework for ethical, love-centred technology; ConflictTour, a service programme offered as an alternative to military enlistment; and EndOfHankyPanky.com, a reporting engine built for NGOs, journalists and courts.
He founded Ethics In Tech in 2013 and ran it as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit from 2018 to 2022. As a lifelong digital rights activist and humanitarian, he has produced hundreds of videos and events on social issues including ethics in technology, Silicon Valley, regional politics, poverty, war and social injustice. He is the author of three books and of a public petition calling on the Spanish authorities to investigate major technology companies and their executives for complicity in international crimes in Gaza.
A proud Iranian-American, he has traveled extensively to Iran, the Balkans and around the world.
