Jackie Zammuto, Associate Director, Learning Programs

Jackie Zammuto leads WITNESS’ Learning Programs, including the Archives, Video as Evidence, and Knowledge Building initiatives. Her work focuses on synthesizing insights from WITNESS’ global programs, partnerships, and collaborations, and transforming this collective knowledge into practical, accessible resources. These tools support human rights defenders worldwide in using video and technology to pursue justice and accountability.

Previously, Jackie led WITNESS’ U.S. programmatic work, with a focus on video advocacy and evidentiary strategies around police accountability, decarceration, immigrant rights, and Indigenous rights. She has gained over a decade of experience collaborating with grassroots activists, legal professionals, educators, and organizers on a broad range of human rights issues—including forced evictions, militarized policing, gender-based violence, and climate justice.

Before joining WITNESS, Jackie spent five years as a Producer and Project Manager at the award-winning Free State Studios in Lawrence, KS. She holds a B.S. in Broadcast Production Journalism and Women’s Studies from the University of Colorado and has contributed to several feature-length documentaries and independent video projects.
