What happened on Feb. 7 was no exception. | extend my condolences to 16-year-old Nex Benedict’s family and friends, and to those who see themselves, who fear for themselves and who can relate to their passing on Feb. 8. They are not the only ones, and sadly their story is not unique, but every single one of them is just as heartbreaking as the next.

It wasn’t until the next day after having a medical episode and being rushed back to the hospital that Benedict tragically passed away. It makes me beyond furious just recounting these events, my heart hurts for their passing — and again my condolences to all affected by this. Prior to these events, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law that forbids transgender youth from using the bathroom that fits prevented them from living the life they deserved. They deserved to live. All of the anti-trans legislation that has been going around — over 400 bills are going through state governments JUST in 2024 — has the same fragile cisgender perspective at the forefront.

This march was not just limited to the Minneapolis/Twin Cities area. According to MPR News, similar marches on Feb. 14 were held in Bemidji, Fargo-Moorhead, Mahnomen and Duluth, all with the same message, “No More Stolen Relatives.” While Indigenous’ people only make up about 1% of Minnesota’s population, Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited individuals made up 9% of all the missing cases from 2010 to 2019, according to a 2019 Department of Public Safety (DPS) report. These statistics continue to be _ heart-wrenching truths for the families and tribal communities, and with the lack of news coverage each year, the Day of Remembrance marches become even more important.

Show moreIt doesn’t stop there. According to USA Today, Ohio lawmakers overrode Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of H.B. 68 in early Feb. of this year. This bill banned gender affirming care for trans youth, and this includes using puberty blocker hormones that support physical development to align with the youth’s identity, and it bans trans girls from playing in school sports. Lana Moore, former Columbus fire captain and trans woman, shared her thoughts of the veto override in USA Today saying, “I would have laid down my life for these people who | know would have hated me for whol am.” Overwhelming feelings of betrayal radiate from the Ohio trans community and their advocates as the recent legislation shows an attempt to erase trans people from public life. According to USA Today, Ohio trans advocacy groups are saddened and disappointed with Ohio lawmakers and their unwillingness to protect gender affirming care; these same actions of public erasure and banning can be seen in states like Florida, Utah, Texas and Georgia. According to USA Today, Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles quietly announced in January that transgender residents would no longer be able to update their gender marker on state IDs and driver's licenses. In Utah, one of the most recent bills has banned trans people from using the bathroom of the gender they associate with. According to Siobhan Boyd-Nelson, co-interim executive director of Equality Ohio, bills like H.B. 68 show how things are progressively getting worse for the LGBTQIA+ community. In a quote from USA Today, Nelson says, “We’re seeing it happen across the country, and we think people should be very concerned about what appears to be an obsession with marginalizing and harming an already marginalized community.” EVENTS: UPCOMING - Dawah Tabling 70 a.m. - 12 p.m. - ADSG Election Info Session Christensen Center, Feb. 27 @ 17:15 a.m. - 12 p.m. Interracial Dating - Student Concerns Meeting Christensen Center Lobby, Feb. 27 @ - QIPOC Presents: Intercultural and Marshall Room, Feb. 27 @ 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. Student Lounge, Feb. 27 @ 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. - Be Kind To Yourself Event OGC 114, Feb. 28 @ 4:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. - Open Mic Night Hagfors 150A, Feb. 28 @ 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. - Wednesday Night Worship: Live Music Hoversten Chapel, Feb. 28 @ 8 p.m. - 9 p.m. East Commons, Feb. 29 @ 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. Meaningful Writing OGC 100, Feb. 29 @ 5 p.m. - 6 p.m. - Mental Health Dialogue and Workshop! - Poetics 101: Intro to Poetry & 2 ECHO FEBRUARY 2024

According to the ACLU 2024 Legislation Session Tracker, there are a total of 442 Anti-LGBTQIA+ bills nationwide. This includes 10 bills in Minnesota that are targeting healthcare, drag performances, school sports, school curriculum and even bills that if passed would allow schools to kick out LGBTQIA+ students. In Tennessee, H.B. 878 was introduced and is on the verge of being signed into law, when if done would ban both same sex and interracial marriages. This bill would violate the 2015 Supreme Court ruling of Obergefell v. Hodges which legalized same-sex marriage and the 1967 case Loving v. Virginia which forbid the barring of interracial marriage. According to Salon News, the two Republican state senators of Tennessee sponsoring the bill are Sen. Mark Pody and Sen. Monty Fritts. They defended the bill in a quote from Salon News, stating, “Any opposition to the bill is misplaced because it exists to clarify the rights of officiates to refuse to marry a couple based on personal/religious beliefs.” The bill will also extend to government officials, such as county clerks who handle marriage licenses. According to Salon, though it’s unclear if Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee will sign the bill into law. However, with his history of signing anti- LGBTQIA+ legislation, there is a strong possibility he could.

Then after they are forever barred from voting, they have a criminal record and can never attain a job. This is intentional, this is murder. Homelessness is often believed to be the fault of the individual within the United States, the whole “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” narrative that we’ve Shelters are always overwhelmed and underfunded. In New York, people are ticketed for providing meals. This bottleneck of resources kills. Encampment sweeps kill, they destroy communities and they traumatize people over and over again. Minnesota alone has no obligation to send social workers to encampment evictions and police have no obligation to share where shelters or other resources are. Where else can they go? What else can they do when everything "Police can lock up people for being houseless in public, knowing they don’t have money to pay bail and then throw them in prison where they are forced to Many states are_ starting to implement this demonic campaign. Others, such as_ Texas, have already written this law into their constitution. The most recent addition to this onslaught of horrible laws is Kentucky. Their recently introduced HB 5 makes sleeping on public property illegal, which makes me question the point of public property. To make it even worse, these lawmakers had a meal with these people that they are now persecuting. These laws aren’t targeted towards any person for sleeping in public, it’s any person who /ooks homeless and happens to be sleeping in public. How else can you interpret this besides the US waging a war against the houseless? Kentucky already has “stand-your-ground” laws and not criminalizing people for being on public property lets people been force-fed all our lives. This narrative is Just completely false: many people — about 40-50% who live in encampments — are often employed, sometimes even having two to three jobs at a time according to Invisible People. The cost of living is so impossibly high, especially for disenfranchised people that they simply cannot afford to live in the city that many of them were born in. How ironic is it that you are forced out of the place where you once called home? Many more people are seeking a job, but not having stable housing makes an income impossible when there is no address for a check to be mailed to. Narratives about homeless criminals paired with the fact that a lot of our houseless neighbors are BIPOC all but completely stops them from being able to work. has been made impossible to afford on purpose? ° " work for pennies. Punishing those who fell upon unfortunate circumstances is the last thing our legislators, our governors and our mayors should be doing. You can’t claim to be for the people when you only care about those who can afford to fund your campaigns and feed your businesses every dollar you have. This is a war that will not end, not unless we stand with our houseless neighbors and demand to tear down these absolutely deplorable laws. MARCH 2024 ECHO 9

The team went 4-12 and was able to make a total of 147 goals to their opponents 268. Last season's conference wins were against Monmouth College and Wartburg College. So far in the D’artagnan JOhNSON contributor for two years prior in the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Like most of the coaches here at Augsburg, Knudson is an Auggie alum and was a four-year player for the lacrosse team. One of her proudest accomplishments at Augsburg was her MWLC second- team all-conference honor in 2021. Womens Lacrosse team taking the field against Carrol College at Edor Nelson Field, taken by Kevin Healy on Feb. 18 2024 season, the Auggies hold a solid 1-2 record and have started with a better winning percentage than in the previous two seasons. Just recently, the season took aturn with a win against Lewis & Clark College that came down to the wire. Interim Head Coach Mikayla Knudson was hired just before the start of 2024 and already has a lot of respect from her players. However, Knudson isn’t new to the program. She served as an Assistant Coach Besides the leadership of the new coach, there are plenty of players to keep an eye on. The biggest name being sophomore midfielder, Jade Wilson, who currently leads the team and the MWLC in scoring with 13. Six goals came from a dominant performance against Lewis & Clark College. Wilson is currently chasing her second consecutive MWLC first-team all-conference honor. According to a recent interview regarding the Lewis & Clark game, senior Alexa Hoffman remarked in an interview with the Echo, “The game was super tough as we were a player down that week. | would say our win was due to our team communication coming in strong. Jade Willson was our MVP as she six goals but the other girls did well too. Both Jessica, our scored attack end, and Liliah, our defensive end, made some goals. One of them got their first goal ever here at Augsburg.” Hoffman as Team Captain and senior attack/defensive is definitely another player to watch. Hoffman’s season highlight is her solid three goal outing against UW-La Crosse. In 2022, she was named to the MWLC first-team all-conference defense list. One newcomer to watch for this season is sophomore attacker Jessica Paul, a transfer from Northwestern-St. Paul. In her first three games with the Auggies, she has started in all three and contributed five ground balls, three caused turnovers, two goals and an assist. Augsburg is back in action on March 6 in the dome covering Edor Nelson field. The Auggies will take on UW- 18-7 around the same time last season. When the teams match up, UW-Stout will be playing their second game of Stout who the Auggies beat the season while the Auggies will be in midseason and playing their fifth game of the season.
