Jeffery Shaun King (born September 17, 1979) is an American writer and activist.
As a writer, King has contributed to Daily Kos, New York Daily News, and The Young Turks. King co-founded the Real Justice PAC in 2018, launched the website The North Star in 2019, and co-founded the non-profit Grassroots Law Project in 2020.
On numerous occasions, King has faced accusations of fiscal mismanagement and of raising money from donors that does not reach its intended recipients.[2][3][4] 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.[5] In 2023, King was involved in further controversy when he falsely claimed to have worked behind the scenes with Hamas and Qatar to secure the release of Israeli hostages during the Gaza war; the family of the released hostages said that he had "lied" and "fabricated his involvement".[6][7][8]
