The case gains even more relevance today as fascist forces in the United States broadly use the false accusation of "leftist domestic terrorism" to suppress the free speech of Americans across the country, with the most extreme consequences being the extrajudicial executions of Americans such as Renée Nicole Macklin Good and Alex Pretti this year.

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! This episode features Monserrat Macias, a Colorado Springs community leader who advocates for small businesses and multilingual resource access and has lived experience as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient.

The case representing Jax is also 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.

Jax appeared on Democracy Now! to discuss her case when it was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Colorado on Aug. 1, 2023. 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.
