Heat Initiative pressures the technology industry to protect children online.

Our Why: A letter from our CEO, Brooke Istook

At Heat Initiative, we are done watching child safety be deprioritized when Big Tech decides it’s in the way of profit. We are incensed. We are no longer interested in buttoned-up advocacy.  We are here to apply strategic pressure. We translate outrage into action. And we do it with the urgency, precision, and fierce sense of purpose kids deserve.

We are here to keep turning up the heat.
