To be known as the “Summoner of Women’s Audacity” already provides an understanding of who Shannon Watts is. She’s the founder of one of the largest grassroots movements in the country—Moms Demand Action—to fight against gun violence. Watts is a co-organizer for the largest Zoom gathering in history to mobilize white women voters in the 2024 election, which raised over $11 million, an author, and now an active board member of Emerge America, a leading organization for recruiting and training women to run for office. Watts is a trailblazer redefining what’s possible when women unite to drive change with all the audacity they can muster.
