ABOUT JACKIE ROTMAN

Jackie Rotman (Founder of Center for Intimacy Justice) has led multiple investigations, published in NY Times and over 130 media outlets, illuminating Meta, TikTok, Google and Amazon’s systemic digital suppression of women’s health information. Jackie’s 2022 investigation was cited in a US Senate hearing and multiple letters by Senate committees (to Meta and the Federal Trade Commission), led to 3 former US Presidential candidates (Clinton, Warren, Klobuchar) speaking out and taking action, and led to multiple governments launching investigations into Meta. It was followed by Meta changing two written global advertising policies within months. Jackie then led CIJ to file a legal complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission (covered in Washington Post) to call on Meta to change algorithmic enforcement–not just policies–and activated several Senators to support. Jackie holds an MBA from Stanford, MPA from Harvard Kennedy School, and BA in Public Policy with University Distinction from Stanford– and took several courses with feminist legal scholars at Harvard Law School. At Harvard, she earned a full scholarship as a Center for Public Leadership Fellow. At age 27, Jackie’s first New York Times op-ed became the Opinion section’s print display piece and made the New York Times “Most Popular List.” At age 14, Jackie founded a nonprofit that provides free dance programs to underserved youth. At age 18, she leveraged a speaking opportunity and international feature on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew to expand impact and reach nationally. The nonprofit (formerly called Everybody Dance Now! – now “Creative Netwerk”) continues today and has served tens of thousands of youth for two decades. Jackie speaks professionally across 5 continents on the intersections of tech, gender, sexuality, and human rights. She\'s advised state Attorney General offices, US Congressional offices, Fortune 100 companies, European Parliament members, and leaders at tech companies. Most recently, she spoke after President Obama–about AI–at a human rights convening. Jackie’s work is supported/amplified by funding partners including Archewell (Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s foundation), Pivotal Ventures (Melinda Gates), Omidyar Network, The Case For Her, and many others. Jackie leads CIJ’s media strategies to create change– securing launch features in outlets including New York Times and Washington Post, collaborating with Senators’ Press Secretaries on campaign releases, and designing messaging and narratives that inspire action by both policymakers and major corporations.
