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, Sarah Gardner
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.
