Shannon Watts Bio
Shannon Watts is a television host, presenter, producer, and a mother of five. Prior to founding Moms Demand Action, Shannon was a stay-at-home mom and former communications executive.
The day after the Sandy Hook tragedy, Shannon started a Facebook group with the message that all Americans can and should do more to reduce gun violence. The online conversation turned into a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that protect people from gun violence.
She proceeded to found Moms Demand Action, which has established a chapter in every state of the country and is part of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country. In addition to her full-time volunteer role with Moms Demand Action, Watts is an active board member of Emerge America, one of the nation’s leading organizations for recruiting and training women to run for office, and Advance Peace, a prominent community-based organization that works to end cyclical and retaliatory gun violence in American urban neighborhoods.
