Teresa Shook
Founder of the Women’s March
Teresa Shook is a retired lawyer in Hawaii and the founder of the Women's March. Shook created a Facebook event for a march in Washington, D. C. following the inauguration of Donald Trump. Within a single day, hundreds of thousands of individuals were "attending" the march's Facebook event. This surge in interest was a catalyst for creating the organization that led to the 2017 Women's March. (1)
In November 2018, Shook criticized the leadership of the Women’s March national organization as being “anti-Semitic and anti-gay rights”. Shook called for the Women’s March leadership to step down. (1)
Shook was presented with the American Spirit Award for Citizen Activism by Silda Wall Spitzer at the The Common Good Forum & American Spirit Awards 2017.
