Our Demands
Safety cannot be an afterthought.
When billionaires advise the government on how to regulate their own technology, the focus stays on profit, not protection.
We demand a universal safety mandate.
The Three Demands
Non-negotiable. Hardcoded. Now.
Independent Oversight
No more self-regulation. We demand a third-party AI governing body with the legal authority to audit and halt deployments. Not advisory. Not voluntary. Enforceable.A
Foundational Child Safety
Safety protocols must be legally required in the core code of any publicly available LLM. It must be hardcoded, not patched later. Patches are how we got the social-media crisis. We are not running that experiment again.
Absolute Privacy
Total algorithmic transparency regarding how minors' data is collected and used to train future models. Zero exploitation. Zero exceptions.
Why Now
The window to govern AI closes the moment it scales.
Social media took a decade to harm a generation. Generative AI is reaching the same penetration in eighteen months — and unlike social platforms, LLMs cannot be retrofitted with safety after the fact. The training run is the product.
Every public deployment without enforced child-safety guardrails widens a gap we will spend the next twenty years trying to close.
Velvetheart funds the policy work, the legal research, and the public pressure required to land these three demands in federal law before the next major model release.
And while we fight that fight, we provide direct grants to the women and children for whom "AI policy" is far too distant a concept — they are surviving abuse now.
The Two-Front Model
Policy is slow. Survival is not.
Front 01
Direct Aid
Emergency grants for safe housing, legal counsel, trauma-informed care, and rebuilding funds. Disbursed in weeks, not quarters.
Front 02
AI Governance
Funding the legal research, lobbying, coalition-building, and public campaigns needed to force the three demands into federal law.
“We put band-aids on social media. We will not put band-aids on Artificial Intelligence."
