The journey of the historic Civil Rights case Armendariz & Chinook Center v. City of Colorado Springs, et al. (2023), which is now in the U.S. District 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, continues to be chronicled on Season 2 of Justice with Jax.

On Episode 5, meet El Paso County Democratic Party Chair Mischa Smith. She’s made history as the first under 40, Black, woman chair of the party who's an experienced public servant & political operative. 

As host Jacqueline Armendariz Unzueta, aka Jax, invites community to discuss the experience of going through the legal system and local current events because knowledge is power y cultura cura.

Armendariz & Chinook Center v. City of Colorado Springs, et al. is the first case in U.S. history to provide undeniable evidence that federal and local law enforcement unconstitutionally spied on Black Lives Matter social justice protestors in retaliation to their political speech & actions.
