Heat Initiative exists because the world’s most valuable and powerful tech companies have failed to protect kids online.
Our Mission
We hold tech companies accountable for enabling and profiting from child sexual abuse.
Our Why: A letter from our CEO, Brooke Istook
At Heat Initiative, we ask the most powerful companies on earth to answer for the choices they make about our kids. We stand with survivors who have carried this weight for far too long. And as AI moves into children’s lives, we are demanding what should have been required from the start: products proven safe before they are launched, not years after the harm has occurred.
