She taps into her career experience in journalism, public service, community organizing and political campaigns to tell the deeply personal story of this case from her perspective, as well as unpack the complexities (and injustices) of the legal system. Once a reporter covering the court and night cops beats, no one can tell her own story better than her as she and her co-plaintiff, community organizing nonprofit Chinook Center, demand police accountability via the courts.https://youtube.com/@JusticeWithJax809https://www.democracynow.org/appearances/jacqueline_jax_armendariz_unzuetahttps://www.aclu-co.org/en/cases/armendariz-and-chinook-center-v-city-colorado-springs-et-alhttps://www.chinookcenter.org/
