Shannon Watts is the founder of Moms Demand Action, a prominent grassroots organization fighting gun violence in the United States. She initially aspired to be an investigative journalist, and she earned a journalism degree but transitioned into a career in public relations, spending nearly two decades in corporate communications at companies like Anthem and GE Healthcare. After taking a step back from her career to become a stay-at-home mom, the Sandy Hook tragedy in 2012 spurred her into action, and she founded Moms Demand Action with a simple Facebook group. Leveraging her communications and branding expertise, she transformed the group into a powerful nationwide movement, now part of Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country, with nearly 11 million supporters. She has since been recognized as one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People and a Forbes 50 Over 50 Changemaker. She’s also authored books including Fight Like a Mother and Fired Up.Buy Shannon’s new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fired-Up-Spark-Flame-Alive/dp/0593831934/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3N3JF0LSLKDXD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Kwrm1R8QJdOWR1nk6ZbD0u7oeoZZCIcSfU_Lw9_i_uPhYHjtmzTf_cbLX1kGsh8ZseMabHJ84c50eDWTDwLh2l_IAnmcclVBVoApFZIk_Oyr_qL2O6c-zSLQyWj0e6qoHpgj8mLzma7OZlcR9EiwXeLNpI_BNfrWSues2crJJgmfV9SkLcv382YLHqteNCRs2EO5SDRFuJ5v6pRTxjixvjw-q2WlvEH2OvbNMtpM2gw.qTj7yh-MkSXgPp7ErYLw7hKTj3yGOgnjOggQztLY9_s&dib_tag=se&keywords=fired+up&qid=1742267750&sprefix=fired%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
