He is a co-founder of the Real Justice PAC, established in 2018, and launched the website The North Star in 2019. In 2020, he co-founded the Grassroots Law Project, a non-profit organization. Throughout his career, King has been involved in various initiatives aimed at social justice and activism. However, his work has also attracted controversy, including accusations of fiscal mismanagement and concerns over the allocation of donated funds. The Grassroots Law Project has faced scrutiny regarding the compensation paid to King and his associates and the progress of its main initiatives. In 2023, King was involved in controversy when he falsely claimed to have worked behind the scenes with Hamas and Qatar to facilitate the release of Israeli hostages during the Gaza war. The families of the released hostages denied his claims, stating he had lied and fabricated his involvement.
