Sue Knaup

Sue Knaup is the Executive Producer and Screenwriter of Reclaiming Estanislao, a narrative feature drama based on the true struggle to save the Stanislaus River near Yosemite in California.

She was 15 in 1979 when she joined the campaign. The loss of the Stanislaus shaped her into the activist she is today. She is the founder and executive director of One Street, an international nonprofit serving leaders of bicycle, community, and environmental organizations. Her specialty is coaching activists on effective campaign planning, often tapping the lessons she learned during the Stanislaus campaign.

For more than 40 years, Sue has led nonprofits in the fields of animal rights, environment, special populations, and bicycle advocacy. During that time, she also worked as a river guide, owned a bicycle shop, and taught a university course on social change with bicycles. Sue is the author of four published books and now a screenplay.
