Students stand in support of Palestine at Regents meeting Protesters cite 1985 resolution By Karina Bolaños @DailyLobo On the afternoon of Feb. 15, Protesters entered the Board of Regents meeting and stood silently along the walls, donning keffiyehs, Palestinian Flags and stickers that read “Freedom for Palestine” to stand united with those speaking in support of a divestment resolution. Just before dozens of protesters walked out of class and gathered at Zimmerman Plaza to listen to speakers discuss the ongoing crises in Gaza, they marched throughout the University of New Mexico, ringing chants of

“No Peace on Stolen Land” and “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” across campus. Before entering the Regents meeting for public comment, students stood outside of the windows and listened to more speakers. The chants from the group were audible from within the walls of the meeting, as heard in the livestream. Several student and community groups - including The Muslim Student Association, Law Students Against Imperialism, UNM College Democrats and Kiva Club - collaborated on the walkout. In total, 16 people spoke during the public comment at the meeting, calling for the Regents to issue a

divestment resolution and address their lack of action. UNM, as well as several other entities, have received grants from the U.S.-Israel Binational Foundations, according to Jewish Virtual Library. On Oct. 11, 2023, UNM leadership sent out an all-University email detailing its “response to the escalating conflict in Israel and Gaza.” “We express our condolences for the loss of life and stand in solidarity with the members of our community who have family, friends, and colleagues in the affected area and who may be directly impacted by the conflict,” the email read.

College affirmative consent bill heads to Governor’s desk By Lily Alexander & Lauren Lifke @llilyalexander & @lauren_lifke The New Mexico Senate passed an amended bill Tuesday, Feb. 13 that would require state-funded colleges to include affirmative consent in their policies and procedures on sexual activity. House Bill 151, sponsored by Rep. Elizabeth Thomson (D) and four other House Democrats, defines affirmative consent as “affirmative, conscious and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity.” Affirmative consent cannot be given by a party who is unconscious or incapacitated, cannot be implied or assumed and can be revoked at any time, according to the bill. “With this, I’m hoping that particularly women – but everyone – realizes that their body belongs to them. They don’t owe anybody anything. Taking you out for dinner doesn’t mean you owe them sex. Being their girlfriend doesn’t mean you owe them sex,” Thomson said. The Senate amended HB 151 to remove requirements around college

responses to incidents, like providing those who file complaints of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, harrassment or stalking with on-campus and community resource contact information. The bill passed 24-13 in the Senate; the House concurred with the amendments on Wednesday, Feb. 14. “(The amended bill) was a very, very slimmed down version, but it’s enough for the universities and colleges to start,” Thomson said. HB 151 states that bystanders who witness and report incidents will not be subject to disciplinary action if they were violating student conduct policy during an incident, unless the violation was “egregious.” This means students who may have been illegally drinking alcohol or consuming drugs while witnessing incidents do not have to worry about consequences when reporting, Thomson said. “Bystanders who are underage drinking or doing illicit drugs didn’t come forward because they were afraid there would be punishment for them being in that kind of situation, and this bill takes that away,” Thomson said.

Heather Jaramillo – Director of Equal Opportunity at the University of New Mexico Office of Compliance, Ethics & Equal Opportunity – wrote that HB 151 should not impact UNM’s current policies, as they already include an affirmative consent standard. Section 8 of UNM Policy 2740: Sexual Harassment Including Sexual Assault defines consent as “an affirmative, informed and conscious decision to willingly engage in mutually acceptable sexual activity.” The policy was last updated in August 2020. “Consent cannot be assumed from a person’s silence, passivity or lack of active engagement or participation in the sexual activity. Consent is a purposeful, intentional act,” Jaramillo wrote. HB 151 would also require colleges to implement “awareness prevention programs” that describe different prevention strategies for sexual harassment. These would have to be included in incoming student orientation. LoboRESPECT Advocacy Center provides sexual assault prevention education through training called

Inside this Lobo

The Grey Area, required for all incoming UNM students, according to LoboRESPECT Advocacy Center Director and Confidential Campus Advocate Lisa Lindquist. The center works with students who have experienced sexual violence to offer them confidential support services, Lindquist said. “(The Grey Area) training covers a wide variety of topics, including consent culture and affirmative consent,” Lindquist said. The prevention education focuses on teaching students how to give and ask for ongoing consent, identifying healthy relationships and practicing bystander intervention skills, according to Lindquist. Affirmative consent on college campuses is important – especially for freshmen and sophomores – because it encourages people to have conversations so they can get to the best place, Lindquist said. “You’re coming to college and you’re negotiating a completely new landscape around relationships, intimacy, exploring, experimenting, trying to figure out what you like and what you don’t like,” Lindquist said. Thomson first introduced a ver-

sion of HB 151 around five years ago, she said, after a coalition of 18 groups – including Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union – asked her to consider affirmative consent as the standard for K-12 schools and higher education. Since then, it has repeatedly gotten stuck in the Senate, Thomson said. Next year, she said she thinks legislation on affirmative consent will return. The 2024 Regular Legislative Session ended Thursday, Feb. 15, and HB 151 will now be considered by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to sign into law. “I think the one thing I hope will come out of this is that everyone will realize that their own body is their own body and no one has rights to any part,” Thomson said.

Protesters march through campus protesting the crises in Gaza on Thursday, Feb. 15th.

Protest from page 1 Rakin Faruk, President of UNM College Democrats, said that this was not the first time organizations tried to speak to the Regents about a divestment. “(At) UNM, we have connections to some of the largest military bases in the country. It’s ridiculous that a place like UNM hasn’t said anything yet. It’s important that the Board of Regents hear us out — this isn’t the first time they would say something political, so they shouldn’t be able to put out that argument,” Faruk said. During public comment, several protesters referenced the 1985 resolution that the Regents created, which detailed “a policy statement regarding the divestment and reinvestment of funds now held in South Africa, and also to develop policies for future Uni-

versity investments,” according to the Regents meeting on May, 7 1985. The resolution advocated for divestment from South Africa during the apartheid, in response to human rights violations, according to Andre Montoya-Barthelemy, public commentator and faculty member at UNM’s School of Medicine. “As you read the text of the resolution, it becomes immediately apparent how perfectly it maps onto Israel’s treatment of Palestine,” MontoyaBarthelemy said. Sandra Akkad, faculty member for UNM Peace and Global Justice Studies, spoke during the meeting about the lack of humanity evident in conflict in Gaza, by reading “If I Must Die,” a poem written by a Palestinian poet Professor Refaat Alareer shortly before his death

in Gaza due to an Israeli airstrike. “I urge you. On behalf of every single child, woman, and man in Gaza – please adopt a resolution for an immediate ceasefire. Please recognize their humanity,” Akkad said. 52% of Americans support a permanent ceasefire, according to Data For Progress. During public comment, Faruk referenced several statistics regarding American opinion on the occupation. “How many students at this University have to stand outside of these doors and give public comments within these walls for you to support the same means,” Faruk said.

Local musician Kai Warrior, plays guitar at the Daily Lobo on Feb. 5, 2024.

By Maddie Pukite @maddogpukite The goal was to create a fully immersive musical experience - so Kai Warrior brought their childhood home to The Orpheum Community Hub on Saturday. Warrior is a local musician who grew up in Albuquerque. They released their debut EP, “Everything I Know,” on Feb. 3. Their work follows a cyclical motion and outlines the details of childhood, friendship, love and heartbreak, and then circles back to childhood. “I wanted the EP to feel fully engulfing, and I figured the only way to do that would be to recreate my life in a room,” Warrior said. In 2020, they began writing the EP, which brings together sounds from home videos and contains lyricism that is spun with grace and eloquence. The piece holds strong instrumentality and confronts themes of pessimism and self-critique. “It is an amalgamation of my life so far,” Warrior said. Their sound is influenced by artists like Kara Jackson, Morrow and Corinne Bailey Rae Orion, Warrior said. This past summer, Warrior spent their time touring with November Ultra and Leith Ross. “The musicianship and the lyrical intelligence is just so captivating.

I think the way that they describe things, and their ability to be poetic (with) melodies is just so beautiful. I love the honesty in it,” Warrior said. Being on stage with a band for the first time allowed the reality of their dreams to fully set in, Warrior said. As a kid, Warrior would change the lyrics to songs they listened to before they realized they could start from scratch and write their own. “I’ve always found a lot of safety in it. As a child, (music) always expressed the things that I felt I couldn’t verbally (express), and I think it still holds that importance. Now, it’s just as good (of a) grounding mechanism,” Warrior said. Writing about their childhood on their EP, Warrior said, was a good place for their music to begin, but they hope to move beyond it in future projects and tell more stories that are less centered in their life and self-critical. “I was going through a (phase) of pessimism within myself,” Warrior said. “(I wrote about) my flaws like, ‘oh my God, I’d love to fix this’, very obsessively. I’d love to get into a more positive, carefree sort of writing,” Warrior said. During the tour last summer, they realized they need to feel completely comfortable to write - a space their childhood bedroom provided for their EP, Warrior said. “It’s all written in my bedroom,

my childhood bedroom. And I think that is very reflective of all of the contents,” Warrior said. Warrior first released a recording of their track, “For the Both of Us,” on TikTok and received an overwhelming response from people asking them to release it. Not as big of a fan of the track as their followers were, Warrior set the song aside — until a collaborator brought the piece up when finishing the EP’s production. Warrior changed the song from a piano ballad to a guitar piece, and the song found its spot on the EP. Their goal for this year is to participate in more collaborations. “It’s so nerve-racking — to share your art with another person, especially if you respect them,” Warrior said. When they are not writing and engulfing themself in music, Warrior said they spend time baking, particularly focusing on focaccia, and using other creative outlets like fashion to express themselves. “Everything I Know” is available to listen to on Spotify and Apple Music. “It’s beautiful to be able to look back and no longer feel that way. I feel like it just gives me hope for any of my sort of blockages that I (experience). I can get through it,” Warrior said. Maddie Pukite is the editor-in-chief at the Daily Lobo.

At the start the second, the Lobos continued their dominance offensively as they knocked down shot after shot and kept up their incredible defensive play. It was clear the Lobos had firm control of the game; as soon as they grabbed the lead in the first, they were not gonna give it up. Lobos lead at halftime 33-23.

locking down the paint all quarter. The Lobos lead 52-32 at the end of the third. The fourth quarter was more of the same as the Lobos dominated on both ends of the court to seal the deal and take the victory at The Pit. Cumber finished the game, leading the team in scoring with 17 points on 5-11 shooting, going 3-7 from the threepoint line. Joaquim finished the game with four points on 2-4 shooting but led the team with 11 rebounds. This is the Lobos’ second straight win. To keep the streak going, the first thing they have to do is get healthy, Head Coach Mike Bradbury said. “We got a lot of people fighting through stuff. Getting healthy is the first thing we have to do,” Bradbury said. Cumber had a great game offensively and said she plans to stay consistent. “(I’m) just doing my best to make

sure I’m able to knock down shots and be in the right spots,” Cumber said. As for Joaquim, her performance defensively was strictly for the team and helping them find ways to win. “I was playing my best. I had to try and help my team win, and that was by getting rebounds and getting defensive stops,” Joaquim said. The Lobos play their next game on the road against the Boise State Broncos for another conference battle on Wednesday, Feb. 21. Rodney Prunty is a freelance reporter at the Daily Lobo.

Pedro Lopez is at the helm once again as the manager for the Albuquerque Isotopes 2024 season. Before he went off for Spring Training in Arizona, Lopez hosted a brunch where he expressed gratitude and explained what he wanted to achieve in the coming season. The event took place on Feb. 17 at the clubhouse in the Isotopes stadium where the guests were served a dinerstyle breakfast array of foods, all of which were made by the head chef of the Isotopes park - James Griego. During the meeting, Lopez talked about the new and upcoming prospects that the Isotopes have on their hands going into this season, with high aspirations for Bradley Zimmer and infield players. “Firstly, we have to see what happens with (Alan) Treijo. If he

doesn’t make a big league team we’ll definitely be seeing him here with us. Then there’s (Julio) Carreras that played with us the last month of last season. Then there’s (Aaron) Schunk, and we have (Connor) Kaiser back,” Lopez said. Lopez has his own lengthy history within the world of baseball. Starting in 1988 he played in 13 seasons, going Triple-A on four occasions. He then would go on to coach and manage teams with the Texas Rangers and the New York Mets farm systems. He has an overall managerial record of 1047-1059, making the playoffs seven times, and winning the Double-A Eastern in 2014 with the Birmingham Mets. This is the second season for Lopez as manager of the Isotopes, and his fourth within the organization starting back in 2021 as the hitting coach. Since then, Lopez says he’s grateful for the time and opportunities with the Isotopes,

and this upcoming season, he wants to pay it back. “We want to make better ball players and have them make the big leagues, that’s for them, but for me, I just want to help make better people. Spreading that message of compassion, understanding, kindness – and then to have that spread through baseball,” Lopez said. “I think knowing who you are and being a good human being will make anyone a better ball player. That’s my number one purpose here.” At the end of last season, Lopez said he was happy they came close to making it to the playoffs, but wants to make it their goal for the season to make it this year. To do so, Lopez said he and his players needed to foster a solid mental state where there is no worry, no doubt and to leave the ‘ego’ at the door every time they step onto a field. “The mindset is a fight.

New graduation requirements give high school students increased flexibility By Nate Bernard @DailyLobo Next year’s high school freshmen will see different graduation requirements due to a bill signed by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Feb. 9. The new requirements seek to increase school attendance and graduation rates by giving students more choices in the classes they take, according to Lujan Grisham’s press release. “High school should be about preparing students for the real world while providing more opportunities to pursue their unique interests and future careers,” Lujan Grisham said in the press release. Under House Bill 171, the number of credits students need to graduate will remain at 24, but certain career and technical education (CTE) electives can replace required math, science and English credits. CTE classes can vary between local school boards and districts. Students must take four units

of math, which can be fulfilled by units such as financial literacy and some CTE electives, per the new requirements. Algebra II will no longer be required, but must still be available for students who wish to take it. East Mountain High School, a charter school near Albuquerque, began offering computer science and wildlife management, two nontraditional CTE classes that have been incredibly popular, according to Trey Smith, the school’s Executive Director and Head Administrator. “The bill also asks that schools offer financial literacy, and we’ve always had one section of financial literacy, but it also feels like legislators want to just offer more of it. I think we could probably expand how many sections of financial literacy we’re currently offering as well,” Smith said. Students must complete four years of social studies classes and a half-unit of health that focuses on sexual assault, abuse prevention

and awareness training, according to the new legislation. Students who obtain an industry certificate or degree can use it to be weighted in the calculation of their grade point average (GPA), according to the legislation. Industry certificates and degrees are awarded to students who have fulfilled the standardized credentials and passed the accepted exam for the industry in which they are pursuing, according to the New Mexico Public Education Department. The procedure for which industry certificate or degree can be used will be established by Dec. 31, according to the law. One of the bill’s sponsors, Rep. G. Andrés Romero (D), hopes the new requirements will better engage students and increase graduation rates, according to Lujan Grisham’s press release. For the 2021-22 school year, New Mexico had the lowest graduation rate of any state in the nation, according to U.S. News & World

Report. That school year, almost a quarter of all high school students did not graduate. In the 2022 school year, about 30% of students qualified as chronically absent, according to the New Mexico Public Education Department. While COVID-19 is to blame for many of these absences, chronic absence rates have not fully rebounded to pre-COVID-19 levels, Smith said. The increased flexibility given to students to choose their classes could lead to greater attendance rates. “(New graduation requirements are) going to allow us to offer more engaging types of classes that students want to be in so they don’t feel like they’re forced into a more traditional path and can take some more electives. We always find the students who are in more electives tend to be more engaged with school as a whole,” Smith said. While Smith is supportive of the increased flexibility of the bill, he said he is cautious of reducing graduation requirements. In the

2023 legislative sessions, Romero introduced a bill that would have reduced the credit hours required to graduate to 22. The bill passed in the House and Senate, but was vetoed, and the required 24 credit hours were maintained. The new requirements will be in effect starting for incoming ninth graders in the 2025-2026 school year. All students in high school now will follow the previous graduation requirements. “I would be interested in continuing to make flexible pathways to meet the varying needs of our students. But for now, I think (the new graduation requirements are) pretty good.” Smith said. Nate Bernard is a beat reporter with the Daily Lobo.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

Can I have some FRIES? Affirmative Consent at UNM By Marcela Johnson @DailyLobo Affirmative consent at the University of New Mexico is not a new topic. Several resources around campus contribute to the conversation around consent. Women’s Resource Center Director Áine McCarthy said that affirmative consent is freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic and specific, remembered by the acronym - FRIES. The University requires that consent is affirmative, according to UNM policy. Title IX Coordinator Angela Catena explained that coercion is not consent. “One of the myths is around, ‘well if I eventually get a yes that means I have consent,’” Catena said. “But that might not necessarily be the case.” UNM requires members of its community to undergo mandatory sexual misconduct prevention training, called The Grey Area. LoboRESPECT Campus Advocate Julia Egger, who runs Grey Area training on campus, explained that consent is not a one-time question. “Consent is an ongoing process,” Egger said. “Just saying yes one time – that person is not agreeing to everything that’s going on. You have to continually check in.” If consent is not a verbal, enthusiastic and clear agreement on a sexual activity, it can be found to

be non-consensual and in violation of policy, McCarthy said. The person giving consent has to be conscious and in the correct mental space, Egger said. “We caution students about if someone is slurring their words, throwing up, having trouble walking, having trouble focusing their eyes – that person’s too intoxicated to give consent,” Egger said. “If you are concerned about your level of intoxication or another person’s level of intoxication, it’s always best

to err on the side of caution.” Catena emphasized the role of communication in the consent process. She said that a lack of communication might mean a lack of consent. “What we’re trying to empower our University community to do, is actively engage in those conversations,” Catena said. Catena and McCarthy both expressed their excitement for the recent passage of House Bill 151 in the New Mexico Legislature,

which they say brings what UNM has been doing to the state level. Other universities around the state do not have the same affirmative consent policies, Catena and McCarthy said. “Our affirmative consent policy was a decision within the university to say we’re going to go above what our state law is, and HB 151 is bumping up consent,” Catena said. “We’ve been operating under an affirmative consent policy so that won’t change.”

COUPON BONANZA

Consent is one of the first things that the office of equal opportunity looks at when determining if there has been a policy violation, Catena said. “If there is an investigation in our office, we pull apart those pieces to really see if consent was communicated and agreed upon and clear for both of the parties,” Catena said. McCarthy encourages people to get involved with creating a consent culture. She said that one of her goals is to help address issues at all levels. “We all have a role to play in building consent culture and unlearning non-consensual culture,” McCarthy said. “I’m really excited to meet students that are passionate about this too and want to help contribute to the vibrancy of this message.” Catena encourages the UNM community members who may have had a non-consensual encounter to go to a center with confidential advocacy in order to determine their next best steps. There are several confidential advocacy centers at UNM: LGBTQ Resource Center, Women’s Resource Center, LoboRESPECT and Advocacy Center and Student Health and Counseling. More information about confidential reporting can be found in Appendix B of Policy 2740. Marcela Johnson is a beat reporter for the Daily Lobo.

New Mexico United challenges the “Land of Entrapment” stereotype By Nate Bernard & Jaymes Boe @DailyLobo

The narrative of the “Land of Entrapment” is being challenged by New Mexico United’s team and fanbase, through the work the team does off the field, according to Carlos Tenorio II, President of New Mexico United’s supporters’ group, The Curse. The documentary Underdog Uprising, highlights United’s unique and committed fanbase, and will be available for streaming on the Very Local app on Feb. 28. The documentary covers the work United and its supporters do to impact their community challenge the underdog identity, Tenorio said. “We’re at the bottom of the good lists and the top of the bad lists… It doesn’t always have to be like that,” Tenorio said. The Curse is one of United’s largest supporters’ groups, occupying the southern sections of Isotopes Park. The groups are organized fan clubs, typically with an established area within soccer stadiums. “Last year we (The Curse) had over two-hundred people,” Tenorio said. The Curse acts as an active conduit of community through charity work. Events include cleaning the Bosque, laundry projects, annual

pride-raisers and an upcoming food drive, Tenorio said. In May 2020, both New Mexico United and supporters’ groups, including The Curse, organized a parade to celebrate healthcare professionals for their dedication during the pandemic. The parade included more than 100 vehicles ,which passed by several hospitals in downtown Albuquerque, according to The Somos Unidos Foundation. As the charity of the New Mexico United Organization, the Somos Unidos Foundation worked alongside the Heart of America Foundation to deliver 1,200 distance learning kits to the Navajo Nation in 2020. These kits included art supplies, books, STEM activity kits and personal protective equipment to fight COVID-19, according to The Somos Unidos Foundation. Underdog Uprising also features the Academy, which brought soccer opportunities to New Mexico

residents who never had those opportunities in the past, according to the documentary. The Academy is the highest level of youth soccer in New Mexico and the only one of its kind in North America to be completely free for every player, according to The Somos Unidos Foundation. David Estrada, the newly named head coach for the Academy, said that some players would not be able to play if it weren’t for the financial support The Academy brings. “The cool thing about this program is that all the players that are in our team full-time have full scholarships. This means that through our sponsorships, corporate partners and donations, they do not have to pay anything,” Estrada said. The Academy covers players’ training, uniform, gear and travel accommodation including meal costs during competition, according to the Academy website. Many soccer programs are pay-to-play,

making it difficult for low-income players, Estrada said. One of Estrada’s priorities as head coach is to not only make players better athletes but to make them better New Mexicans as well. “It’s not just a soccer program, these young men are in the community constantly running clinics and visiting schools,” Estrada said. One clinic Estrada mentioned is United in Our Abilities. In this clinic, Academy players created an adaptive soccer camp for individuals with disabilities. “These guys are surrounded by good people. I had guys come to me after that and say, ‘Coach, I really enjoyed that. I can’t wait to do that again’,” Estrada said.

COUPON BONANZA

New Mexico United’s season kicks off on March 9 against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, but for United and its fans the sport isn’t just for game days. “It’s more than just soccer. Soccer just happens to be the vehicle for driving change,” Tenorio said. Nate Bernard is a beat reporter with the Daily Lobo.

The Daily Lobo welcomes letters to the editor from any point of view.

Dear Editor, I am writing to express my outrage regarding the Albuquerque Police Department’s recent sweeps of homeless encampments in Albuquerque. They have been brutal, ignoring the basic right of unhoused residents’ humanity. They are legitimate residents of this city and they deserve to be treated as such. Our city’s “Policy for Responding to Encampments on Public Property” states that “(City officials shall) recognize that there are no ‘homeless people’, but rather people who have lost their homes and deserve to be treated with dignity.” It goes on to further say that the aim of city employees in relation to unhoused citizens is “to provide person-centered, trauma-informed care that respects the dignity and ensures the safety of all individuals and families seeking assistance.” This verbiage is clearly hollow in the

face of the unremitting destruction that has been raining down on the unhoused members of our community in the form of daily sweeps. During these sweeps, people lose all of their possessions, including tents and bedclothes. I recently heard of an incident where a homeless individual left his tent to get some food, only to return and find that it had been thrown away by the city. He had been gone for less than a minute and 30 seconds. Everything this person owned in the world was in that tent, and he was left with nothing but the clothes on his back. Incidents like this place people at serious risk of losing fingers, toes, and even their lives, and these are not just faceless individuals – they are our friends, companions, spouses, brothers, sisters and loved ones. During this month’s snowstorm, shelters were full, and because peoples’ tents, bedclothes and possessions had been carted to the

gin their Spring Training in Arizona and on March 29 will have their home opener.

LETTER: APD commits immoral sweeps of unhoused encampments landfill, people froze. Under these conditions, something as simple as a small abscess from frostbite can turn into a life-threatening infection without access to proper care. This is outrageous. The substantial moral issue aside here, these sweeps are also frankly illegal at best and legally dubious at worst. The Fourth Amendment is supposed to protect us from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. It requires that search warrants be supported by probable cause and thoroughly describe the place to be searched and the things to be seized. In addition to the Constitutional right, a September injunction states that The City of Albuquerque specifically cannot enforce laws that remove homeless individuals from public property or confiscate their belongings without a warrant, without providing proper notice and without a chance for involuntarily

unhoused individuals to challenge the seizure of their belongings. The City is also required to follow specific procedures before destroying any property belonging to homeless individuals and to provide a chance for them to reclaim their belongings. None of these legal rights are being respected. That should both shame and terrify us. In addition, this situation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars. The financial resources involved in the deployment of numerous police vehicles, law enforcement officers, sanitation trucks and workers (typically exceeding 10 individuals present at each sweep). Additionally, there is a recurrent financial burden on agencies, largely funded by the city, for repeatedly replacing identification documents and other necessary paperwork. This financial burden is carried by you, Dear Reader. Research shows that these precious tax dollars can be much

more profitably spent by providing services: housing, monetary assistance to vulnerable populations, job training and job opportunities, increased wages etc. However we chose to spend our tax dollars, we can definitely do better morally as a community. Gandhi said that, “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” We are currently failing this test. We can turn this around though starting by pressuring city officials for an immediate stop to this “cleansing” of our streets. Sincerely, Courtney J Angermeier Angermeier is an adjunct faculty member at the University of New Mexico and a teacher at Albuquerque Public Schools.
