Learn more about Shane Jenkins here:
- Bio: Shane was a defendant in the January 6th events, having been incarcerated for a total of 46 months—24 of which were pre-trial, and 32 in what is referred to as the DC Gulag. His case went to trial, where he was found guilty on all counts by a jury that many would argue did not represent his peers.
- The Day of January 6th: On that day, Shane was directly beside Victoria White when she was assaulted by police. He himself was also assaulted but managed to assist MDP Officer Blake Miller back to safety amidst the chaos.
- From Adversity to Advocacy: Instead of succumbing to the adversities he faced, Shane turned his experience into a platform for change. While incarcerated, he founded two significant organizations:
- The Real J6: An initiative aimed at sharing personal stories and factual narratives from those who were present on January 6th, providing a counter-narrative to mainstream reporting.
- Stand in the Gap: This organization focuses on advocating for judicial reform, highlighting injustices within the current system, and pushing for changes to ensure fair treatment for all.
- Current Mission: Shane is now dedicating his efforts towards reforming and restoring integrity to America’s justice system. His firsthand experience gives him a unique perspective and an unyielding commitment to this cause.
