Jeffery Shaun King (born September 17, 1979) is an American writer and activist. He uses social media to promote causes of social justice, particularly Black Lives Matter in the United States.
King was raised in Kentucky and received his undergraduate degree from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.[2] After briefly teaching high school civics, he became a pastor. In 2008, he founded the Courageous Church in Atlanta and led it for four years. During this time, King launched a number of internet campaigns, including HopeMob.org, which he co-founded with Chad Kellough.[3] He later received a master's degree from Arizona State University. As a writer, King has previously been a regular contributor to Daily Kos, the New York Daily News, and The Young Turks. In 2018, King co-founded the Real Justice PAC, and launched The North Star website. In 2020, he founded the non-profit group Grassroots Law Project.
On numerous occasions, King has faced accusations of fiscal mismanagement and of raising money from donors that does not reach its intended recipients.[4][5][6] In addition, the Grassroots Law Project has been questioned for its high compensation paid to King and his associates, as well as its lack of progress on its main initiative.[7] In 2023, King was involved in further controversy when he claimed to have worked behind the scenes with Hamas and Qatar to secure the release of Israeli hostages during the Israel–Hamas war; the family of the released hostages said that he had "lied" and "fabricated his involvement".[8][9][10]
