JWJ S3, Ep. 1: Neighbors for Education & Mike Williams

Justice with Jax: Season 3 continues to chronicle the story of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado case, Armendariz & Chinook Center v. City of Colorado Springs, et al., 2023. The setting is the U.S. District 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Your host Jacqueline Armendariz Unzueta, aka Jax, documents the voices of the Colorado Springs community discussing the case and local current events. Listen today because knowledge is power and cultura cura! Episode 1 features community leader, Mike Williams, of Men of Influence & Neighbors for Education. The case representing Jax is consequential because it's the first in U.S. history to provide undeniable evidence that federal and local law enforcement unconstitutionally spied on Black Lives Matter social justice protestors for their political speech & actions. ACLU CO is representing the case to protect our rights to free speech & privacy -- especially in our digital age.
