LAWMAKERS RELEASE SWEEPING BILL PACKAGE TO FAST TRACK HOUSING PRODUCTION
get approval to build houses.
Two members of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC) joined a bipartisan and bicameral group of lawmakers to introduce a 20-bill package that would fast-track housing production in the state.
Assemblymembers Tina McKinnor (DInglewood) and Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City) added bills that would make housing more affordable and cut down the time it takes to
The package of bills is based on recommendations included in the final report of the Select Committee on Permitting Reform, chaired by Assemblymember Buffy Wicks (D-Oakland).
On March 27, Wicks, McKinnor, and other legislators attended a media event at the State Capitol Swing Space Annex to formally unveil the measures.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CLOSURE POISED TO DEEPEN LOCAL EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITIES

Soaring grocery store prices are a pain point in the wallets for many San Diegans, including seniors and low-income families. And now, in the digital era, food coupons gatekept behind smartphone apps add another hurdle for folks needing discounts the most.
Today, many of the region ’ s most popular chain stores, Food 4 Less, Vons, Ralphs, Albertsons, and Smart & Final, primarily rely on their websites and digital apps to provide consumers with discounts.
the state’s Civil Rights Office. Ten days later, on March 20, Trump issued an executive order formally instructing the Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, to “facilitate the closure of the Department of Education.”
Core functions of the DOE include: enforcing civil rights laws, data collection, student aid, and policy setting. Per the latest executive order, these functions “can, and should be returned to the States.”
The DOE also provides public schools with federal grants and formula funding, targeting support for disadvantaged students, special education, and specific programs.
While the administration says that formula funding for schools, which is protected by law, would be preserved, they have cut nearly half the workforce in charge of distributing those funds.
Federal funding only accounts for 6% of San Diego Unified’s $1 billion budget. However, the funding that they do receive from the federal government largely goes to supporting marginalized student populations, such as Title I, free lunch programs, special education, support for military families, and special education funding.
Take a browse on Food 4 Less ’ digital coupons page, for example, which is filled with discounts on essential consumer items— toilet paper, laundry detergent, feminine hygiene products, chicken, frozen meals, produce, and more.
These discounts, however, are only available to those who know how to work a smartphone app. Residents argue this disadvantages those in the “digital divide,” people with limited access to or confidence in using computers and the internet.
See DISCOUNTS page 2
Black and brown students are the primary beneficiaries of funding tied to Title I, which is implemented to close education inequity gaps.
According to Cody Patterson, a San Diego Unified Board Trustee, it is deliberate.
“There’s no way you can look at this dismantling of the administrative state and the attack on DEI, ethnic studies—and the attack on public education more broadly—without identifying that it is designed to disproportionately impact black and brown students,” said Patterson.
Now, a broad coalition is rallying to block these threats before they hit classrooms. Just last week, San Diego Unified Superintendent Fabiola Bagula, along with trustee members, went to Washington, D.C, to urge lawmakers to protect critical funding sources.

San Diego Leaders Are Fighting Back

HOUSING
“A few years ago, when asked about my pro-housing work, I said ‘I am not here for the B.S. — I am here to build housing.’ Well, years later, both statements remain true. I am still not here for the B.S. — and I am still here to build housing,” McKinnor said during the presentation. “As we have learned from the Legislature’s past work and the incredible package of pro-housing bills being discussed today, there is not one solution to fix California’s housing crisis. And that is ok. Because standing with my colleagues and incredible pro-housing advocates, I know that together, we will solve California’s housing crisis.”
According to Wicks, the state is in the midst of a severe housing crisis, with a shortfall of 2.5 million homes and nearly 200,000 individuals experiencing homelessness around California.
About 80% of low-income households are saddled with high rental costs and are often forced to decide between sustaining stable housing and managing basic necessities. For others, owning a home in the state is out of reach.
To address these obstacles, lawmakers are zeroing in on the systemic red tape that they say impedes progress on housing development.
“The Fast Track Housing package is about making our systems work better: clearer rules, faster timelines, and fewer bureaucratic hoops,” Wicks
DISCOUNTS
“Accessing every potential discount is not just something that would be nice, but it is critical to ensuring that seniors have enough dollars to keep from falling over the edge and possibly ending up on the street,” said Paul Downey, CEO of Serving Seniors San Diego.
In San Diego, 53,000 residents—primarily seniors and low-income families—lack smartphone access, locking them out of digital-only grocery savings at checkout.
“The apps are confusing. I’m trying to learn how to use them when I go shopping, but boy, was I angry when I realized I hadn’t used it correctly. I ended up paying nearly $14 for four super oranges," said resident Julie Porter during the March 24 City Council meeting.
As a result, San Diego City Councilmembers Sean Elo Rivera and Marni VonWilpert have pioneered an effort to make grocery store coupons more accessible for all shoppers, not just the ones who know how to work a smartphone.
The Grocery Pricing Transparency Ordinance, passed unanimously by the council on March 24, requires stores to provide paper coupons matching all digital discounts.
“This is about fairness. No one should pay more

said. “It’s not about cutting corners — it’s about being honest that what we’re doing isn’t working. This package reflects a broad, bipartisan commitment to saying yes to housing, yes to progress, and yes to a government that helps solve problems instead of creating them.”
McKinnor, the chair of the Los Angeles County Legislative Caucus, authored Assembly Bill (AB) 557 — the California Factory-Built Housing Law. The bill would facilitate cost-saving measures by eliminating local inspections on factory-built housing (FBH) that is already inspected by the state.
According to the state’s Department of Housing Community and Development (DHCD), an FBH is a “residential building, dwelling unit, individual dwelling room, or combination of rooms, or building components, assembly, or system manufactured.”
CHCD regulates the manufacturing of factory-built housing and building components manufactured for sale in California. McKinnor said she and Wicks toured an FBH manufacturer in Southern California last fall.
“It’s just what we need,” McKinnor said of FBHs. “(AB 557) can reduce construction timeline by as much as 60%, cut waste by 80% compared to traditional construction, and remove cost overruns on 55% of the projects since factory costs are fixed.”
AB 1308, authored by Assemblymember Josh Hoover (R-Folsom), facilitates the post-entitle-
because they don't own a smartphone,” said District 9 councilmember Elo-Riveria.
Grocery pricing surge
The ordinance comes in conjunction with skyrocketing grocery store prices which have outpaced the rise in inflation. Based on a 2023 analysis by TraceOne, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, food prices have surged at their fastest rate since the 1970s, adding considerable strain to household budgets.
According to the Consumer Price Index, since the pandemic, at-home food prices have risen by 25% in the last four years, with some items like eggs rising by 80-100%.
Supply chain disruptions, rising labor and transportation costs, and inflation have driven the surge. Weather events induced by climate change, as well as diseases like Avian Flu, have further disrupted the food supply.
Another factor contributing to price hikes is the RussiaUkraine war, which compounded other economy-wide inflationary pressures such as high energy costs.
“Money saving measures shouldn’t exclude people with limited English, limited internet access, or those who don’t feel comfortable using smartphone applications,” said Thelma Navarro, a researcher and policy advocate with Center Policy Initiatives.
How the ordinance will work is that if a grocery store offers a
This diversity is both the district’s strength and its starkest equity challenge, as looming cuts threaten to widen gaps for vulnerable students.
ment process by requiring building departments to provide an estimated timeframe for building permit inspections. It also allows applicants to contract with private professional providers to undertake the inspection.
“Our state must do more to lower the cost of housing for California families. We can start by reducing barriers to the current residential permitting process,” Hoover said. “AB 1308 helps do this in a bipartisan way by holding local municipalities accountable for more timely home inspections.”
Wilson has two bills that are part of the package. AB 660 would speed up the “post-entitlement process” by allowing a third-party review of building permits if they are not reviewed by the local agency in a timely fashion.
Wilson’s AB 1026 would remove unpredictability from the development process by requiring investor-owned utilities to follow the same rules as local governments in reviewing and approving post-entitlement permits, according to her office.
The package targets the five key bottlenecks that delay housing development: application, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, entitlement, post-entitlement, and enforcement. By addressing inefficiencies at every step, the lawmakers say they are aiming to reduce project timelines, cut costs, and get shovels in the ground faster.
The package proposes a number of reforms to
CEQA. Wicks said she understands the need for evaluating significant environmental impacts but she says CEQA is also “weaponized” to halt important projects.
CEQA requires that state and local agencies disclose and assess the significant impacts of proposed projects and adopt all practical alleviation measures to cut back or eliminate environmental impact.
Sen. Tim Grayson (D-Concord) is a licensed contractor and knows how painstaking the permitting process can be for home buyers and homebuilders. Grayson’s SB 328 intends to ramp up the repair and reuse of contaminated sites by imposing timelines on the Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) to respond to permit requests for housing projects.
SB 328 will cap fees for reviewing the remediation of sites that were not contaminated by the project sponsor. Grayson told California Black Media that “timing and response” are the biggest barriers to building housing efficiently.
“Time is money. The longer it takes, the more the uncertainty of fees that were not published prior but added to the project processes. And having to represent your project multiple times over — all of that takes time.”
Grayson added, “During that wave of time, prices and products have changed, supplies have changed, and the workforce has probably moved to a different place. Now you have to pay for more of the workforce.”
digital discount, they must also provide an identical physical/paper coupon. In addition, stores must display a sign or notice in a location visible to consumers about their right to the physical coupons upon request.
Violations of this ordinance may be pursued as an act of unfair competition and subject to remedies and civil penalties outlined in the California Business and Professions Code.
An exception to the ordinance includes retail grocery stores that operate exclusively online and do not have a physical store in the city.
However, not everyone in attendance during the Tuesday council meeting was in outright support. Justine Maria, Executive Director of Public Affairs for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, stated that grocers have not been adequately included in these conversations.
“We have concerns over the process and lack of stakeholder outreach... when affected businesses are not included in these important conversations, well-meaning policies have the potential
A Critical lifeline for low-income schools
San Diego Unified, at a glance
San Diego Unified is California’s second-largest school district and is considered the state’s fifth most diverse district, according to a Niche analysis. Ethnicities of students include: 46% Latino, 16% Asian, 14% White, and 9% Black, with over 60 languages spoken.
Sixty-six percent of the schools in the district receive Title I funding. The higher the number of low-income students, the higher the amount of Title I funding schools are eligible for.
In the 2023-2024 school year, the district secured approximately $19.4 million to support over 150 different elementary, middle, and high schools.
Notably, schools south of Interstate 8 receive the majority of this funding.
Top Three Title I High Schools:
Born from the Civil Rights Era, Title I was embedded in the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act as a direct response to systemic underfunding of schools serving Black, Brown, and poor communities.
Title I has evolved into one of the largest federal assistance programs for public schools nationwide. In today’s classrooms, Title I goes towards additional staff like math and literacy specialists, funds for technology and supplies, preschool and afterschool programs, and supporting parental involvement.
While this year’s $18.38 billion in Title I nationwide remains intact, advocates warn these dollars are on the chopping block long-term.
“They want to turn back all of the victories that we had for equality, equity and opportunity post-Civil Rights Era,” said Patterson.
The cuts also represent a sign of Project 2025 already taking shape, he believes.
Project 2025, a far-right policy blueprint for the Trump administration, explicitly targets the Department of Education for drastic cuts.

to give grocers more time to adapt.
By passing this ordinance, we will be making it easier and more affordable for San Diegans,” said Councilmember Elo-Rivera.
“The goal of Project 2025 in relation to public education is effectively to eliminate public education and move to an entirely privatized base, with no diversity, equity, inclusion, and with no additional funding for low-income students,” said Patterson.
Project 2025 enlists visions to turn Title I into a block grant, which Patterson explains, “is a recipe to have it disappear entirely.”
Despite the threats and unknown future for critical programming, San Diego and state leaders are clear: they will not let federal rollbacks erase decades of progress.
For now, Patterson affirms that the district remains focused on how it can ensure their

BIG MAMA SAID ARE WE FINE WITH EMPTY SEATS?
“The stakes are too high for government to be a spectator sport,” said the late Barbara Jordan, the first African American woman elected to Congress from Texas. Big Mama would’ve nodded in agreement, adding, “Baby, you can’t just sit on the porch and watch the storm. You better get up and do something about it.”
Voting in a presidential election is our right, but casting a ballot every four years is just the beginning. There are 1,460 days between elections, and in that time, decisions are made that shape our lives (from The Stakes Are Too High, an exhibition curated by John Caldwell, political and public policy papers archivist and Kaitlyn Tanis, history and social sciences librarian).
That means we must do more than just vote and boycott — we must stay engaged, speak out, and demand that democracy serves the people, not the powerful. Lucille “Big Mama “ Allen knew something about making change happen.
Lucille “Big Mama” Allen wasn’t just a voice in the kitchen—she was a force in the community. She believed in holding leaders accountable and never let injustice slide. She taught us that real power isn’t just in boycotts—it’s in the sustained pressure we apply through protest, lobbying, and community collaboration to remove unqualified leaders and push for the changes we need.
We see the signs today: illegal government maneuvers, attacks on voting rights, and leaders who serve special groups instead of the people. We cannot sit back and allow democracy to be dismantled while we watch from the sidelines.
We must protest—not just in the streets, but in courtrooms, city halls, and school board meetings. We must lobby—demanding policies that protect our rights and calling out those who try to take them away. We must collaborate—uniting across communities, across issues, and across political lines to stop the erosion of our democracy.
Big Mama would say, “If they ain’t listening, make ‘em listen. And if they refuse, replace ‘em.” We don’t just have the right to change the game—we have the responsibility. It’s time to cross all the aisles, link arms, and fight back. The stakes are simply too high.

Concerned About The Overdevelopment
At Talbot And Rosecrans
Here is a note: The city seems to have a pattern. I have sent to my elected officials the link below my name. I sent [it] to those who might be interested.
If you want additional housing, it should be appropriate for the safety, the specific location, and the existing infrastructure. The point already has limited entry and exit routes, and Rosecrans and the surrounding streets are already part of the existing tsunami routes. In addition, on that corner, we have existing military traffic (mornings and afternoons), which could be a security and safety issue for those serving and the surrounding community. Parking near Cabrillo School is already problematic, especially during pick-up and drop-off times. Despite spending over a million dollars on traffic studies for that area, no improvements have been made. Qualcomm tested smart signals on Rosecrans due to high traffic volumes instead of Mira Mesa Blvd near their campus. The city has also failed to comply with the Public Records Act, withholding documents.
How can the city honestly justify allowing this overdevelopment in this specific area?

Not long after the Trump administration took office, my son noticed several empty seats in his sixth-grade classroom. At first, he didn’t understand why his Hispanic classmates were missing. Later, when my wife and I took him to a protest in solidarity with our immigrant community, he realized their parents had kept them home as an act of protest against the administration’s inhumane treatment of immigrants.
His realization sent shivers down my spine. Growing up in Germany, I read Friedrich by Hans-Peter Richter, a novel about two boys in Hitler’s Germany—one Jewish, the other not. Their innocent childhood is shattered as persecution tightens.
One day, Friedrich’s seat at school is empty. That silent absence is a powerful warning about how dehumanization creeps in and takes hold. History teaches us that injustice follows once we accept the idea that some people are worth less than others. As heavily armed immigration officers parade shackled immigrants in front of staged TV cameras and the administration makes clear that mass arrests and deportations are just beginning, we must recognize the moment we are in.
Dehumanization allows this to happen. It starts with language: calling people “illegals” instead of individuals, “invaders” instead of families seeking safety. We are far past subtle shifts in language.
This mirrors the tactics of past fascist regimes. Immigrant communities are described as criminals, terrorists, or threats to “American purity,” with bad genes “poisoning our blood.”
When this rhetoric goes unchallenged, it justifies policies that strip people of rights, dignity, and safety. It leads to detentions, deportations, and violence.
History shows us dehumanization doesn’t happen all at once. In 1933, Germany passed the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, purging Jewish people and political opponents from jobs in education, government, and the courts. Today, we see efforts to reshape American universities—a Lebanese faculty member from Brown University was deported, Palestinian students are targeted for nonviolent dissent, and funding is threatened under the guise of political control.
Or take the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, which formally defined

Trump's EPA Should Not Ignore Reality— Greenhouse Gases Cause Harm to All of Us
Dear editor,
The Trump administration’s proposal to reconsider the EPA’s endangerment finding is reckless, anti-science, and a huge step backward for climate action. This decision isn’t just about politics—it puts our health, environment, and future on the line.
The endangerment finding, established in 2009, is based on clear scientific evidence that greenhouse gases harm public health and the planet. It’s been the legal backbone for policies that reduce emissions from cars, power plants, and industry. Without it, we lose a key tool for fighting climate change—and that’s exactly what polluters want.
The reality is, climate change isn’t some distant threat. It’s here. We’re seeing record-breaking heat, wildfires, floods, and hurricanes that devastate communities. Our state is not immune from these catastrophes and the Trump Administration’s actions would reverse progress. Gutting this policy ignores science and common sense at a time when we need stronger action, not more rollbacks.
This also sends a terrible message to the rest of the world. While
Jewish identity based on ancestry and stripped Jewish people of German citizenship. Trump is obsessed with ending birthright citizenship, a fundamental American principle enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment. At the same time, he proposes a “Golden Card,” a $5 million purchasable Green Card, making clear which immigrants are deemed worthy and which are not.
Or consider book bans. In 1933, Nazi Germany banned and burned books that challenged its ideology. Today, this administration dismisses concerns about book bans as a hoax, while conservative groups have targeted over 16,000 books—primarily those addressing race, racism, and LGBTQ+ topics. These aren’t just policy debates but deliberate steps to erase marginalized histories and reverse decades of progress.
But we can resist dehumanization.
First, we must name it when we see it—language matters. We should challenge rhetoric that reduces people to stereotypes and denies their full humanity.
Second, we must amplify the real stories of those targeted— our neighbors, coworkers, and friends—so fear and misinformation don’t define them.
Third, we must strengthen our communities by building relationships across differences. Solidarity is the antidote to division.
To be clear, Donald Trump is not Hitler. Such comparisons distract from what is observable in plain sight: the systematic erosion of human dignity and democracy through dehumanization. Fascism doesn’t start with concentration camps—it begins with the belief that some people matter less than others. That belief is taking root now.
Resisting the Trump administration’s agenda is not about partisanship. And no, it is not about being “sore losers,” as someone called us during the protest. It is about humanity.
If we ignore the signs, we may one day see more empty chairs in our schools, workplaces, and communities—not because of a protest, but because a government decided certain people do not belong.
I refuse to stay silent. When my son comes home from school, asking why his classmates’ seats are empty, I want to tell him I resisted.
other countries are working toward clean energy solutions, the U.S. risks becoming a climate laggard instead of a leader.
We can’t let this happen. We need to push back against this dangerous move and demand real climate solutions. The health of our planet—and future generations—depends on it. The EPA should scrap its plan to undo this regulation and maintain the rules that are protecting all of us and the air and water we rely on.
Sincerely,
Bruce Wilde Chula Vista, CA

“ Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. ” †¢ Kirk
Tracy Renard Diggs was born on February 24, 1969, in New York. Although Tracy grew up in New York, his family later moved to California, where he completed his education in the San Diego Unified School District.
From a young age, Tracy had a passion for working on cars, riding dirt bikes with his friends around The Hatfields neighborhood, and enjoying music. Tracy’s family meant the world to him, and he was a proud father to his children: Devina W., Traci R., Mariah S., Romello R., Jaushua, Jhaunee, Trajanae Diggs, and Legend K. Williams. He also treasured the memories he created with his grandchildren.
Norman Eugene Vance, Sr. was a proud and longtime member St. Stephen’s Cathedral Church of God in Christ. His wonderful life began on August 7, 1940, in Roanoke, VA. He was a miracle baby, born at only 2 lbs., it was uncertain if he would survive. But survive he did! The loving care of his parents and grandmother Marybelle.
Norman would later move to San Diego, California, where his cousin, Mary Evelyn and her husband, James, would enthusiastically welcome him. California is where Norman thrived! For several years he was employed at the Marine Corp. Air Station as a Barber. He met his lovely bride and wife of 62 years, Pecolia Jackson, by way of his good friend, Allen Gore. They were soon married at the ripe old ages of 19 and 22. From that Union came two beautiful children, Melony and Norman Jr. They purchased their first home in Southeast San Diego in 1963, where they reside to this day.
Norman was an introspective man who would give a helping hand and a kind word to anyone who came within his presence.
On the evening of March 4, 2025, Norman Eugene Vance, Sr., earned his rest and said goodbye to us, but not without leaving his indelible legacy of love. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife Pecolia Vance, daughter Melony Vance (San Diego, CA) son Norman (Kena) Vance, Jr. (Newhall, CA), five grandchildren; Phillip Coney, Norman Vance III, Myles Coney, Erin, and Madison Vance, brothers; Walter Vance and Raymond (Patricia) Wade (Roanoke, VA), two sisters; Evelyn (Isaac) Williams (Murrieta, CA) and Lucille (Harold) Hancock (Roanoke, VA), and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Willie was a devoted Christian, husband, and father. He worked 14 years at Texaco Oil Refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, and also retired from City of Beaumont Park and Recreation Department after 10 years of serving the community.
Willie was a “musical connoisseur”. He played the tuba, but his passion was playing the drums and he loved jazz.
Willie is preceded in death by his lovely wife Linda Faye Thibodeaux. He leaves to cherish his memory his sons; Anthony (wife Gena), Roderic (wife Dana), and Henri (wife April), daughters; Lisa (husband Darvin) and Livia (husband Miguel), his only sister Carol Valmore, Peggy Harris (sister-in-love), Ms. Pamela Joseph (sister-cousin), his grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.
A dedicated worker, Tracy spent many years contributing to the City of San Diego in the water, sewer, and trash departments, where his efforts were invaluable. Unfortunately, an injury to his shoulder brought an end to his construction career. In 2009, Tracy moved to Suffolk, Virginia, to care for his brother, who was battling cancer, and to assist in raising his brother’s children.

TJ Simpson - Building Community and Growing in College Corps
By Charlene Muhammad California Black Media Contributor
JTSimpson is a third-year Parks and Recreation Management major at California State University, Chico (CSU Chico). A first-generation college student from Southern California, his love for the outdoors stems from his great-grandmother, whose deep appreciation for nature shaped his own. Now based in Long Beach, T.J. is working toward his dream of becoming a park ranger—a goal made more attainable through his participation in #CaliforniansForAll College Corps.
The #CaliforniansForAll College Corps program was created to help college students gain real-world experience, make a meaningful impact in their communities, and reduce student debt. It connects undergraduates with service opportunities that address critical issues across California.
College Corps fellows contribute in key areas such as education, climate action, and food insecurity. They assist K-12 students through tutoring and mentorship, support sustainability and conservation projects, and work with local organizations to combat hunger and improve access to nutritious food.
TJ first learned about College Corps during his freshman year at CSU Chico. Encouraged by his aunt to join as a way to make friends in a new city, he initially enrolled but later withdrew, feeling he wasn’t ready to “put himself out there.”
However, in 2024, his perspective changed. A series of field school trips to San Francisco exposed him to how College Corps could bridge his academics with hands-on experience in parks and recreation management.
“I realized that rejoining College Corps would supplement my studies and give me real-world experience in my field,” said TJ “It wasn’t just about making friends anymore—it was about building a foundation for my career.”
TJ credits his great-grandmother’s influence
for fostering his deep connection to nature.
Growing up in San Fernando Valley, she was a former Pathfinder Scout who instilled in him and his brother a love for the outdoors.
While he once considered botany or forestry, TJ found that CSU Chico’s Parks, Recreation, and Hospitality Management program was the perfect fit. “Three years in, and I haven’t doubted this major at all!” he said.
One of the most rewarding aspects of College Corps for TJ has been the opportunity to network with professionals in state parks, Bureau of Land Management sites, and conservation initiatives. Through these connections, he has explored potential career paths while developing crucial leadership skills.
The program has also helped him strengthen essential skills like adaptability and problem-solving. As someone who is neurodivergent, TJ appreciates predictability and structure, but his service work has required him to embrace flexibility.
“For example, transportation has been a challenge since I rely on public transit and carpools to reach host sites,” he said. “But I’ve learned to be patient and develop creative solutions to overcome obstacles.”
His dedication and work ethic have earned the trust of College Corps directors, leading to leadership opportunities—including serving as a program ambassador.
“My directors have recognized my passion and ability to connect with others,” TJ said.
“They’ve given me opportunities to help prepare for trips, coordinate with other Fellows, and take on responsibilities that have helped me grow as a leader.”
T.J. has grown from a once-shy student into a confident leader within College Corps. But beyond his personal growth, he recognizes the importance of representation in the outdoor and environmental fields.
As a Black student in a predominantly White field, TJ rarely saw people who looked like him in nature-based organizations like the Boy Scouts or outdoor youth programs. This
lack of representation often made him feel like he didn’t belong.
“Being a Black Corps fellow gives me the strength to share my passion with those around me, one job at a time,” TJ said. He hopes to be a role model for other Black students and individuals interested in climate-related careers.
College Corps, in partnership with more than 40 colleges and universities, provides undergraduate students with access to training, networking, and professional development opportunities. Participants benefit from
hands-on experience in high-impact service fields, financial assistance—earning up to $10,000 for completing 450 hours of service— and professional growth through developing skills in communication, teamwork, and leadership. Through College Corps, TJ has found purpose, leadership, and a path to a fulfilling career. With his dedication, resilience, and passion for conservation, he is well on his way to making a lasting impact in parks management and environmental advocacy.

Right Around the Corner: District 1 Special Primary Election
By Macy Meinhardt V&V Staff Writer, CA Local News Fellow
Over 370,000 ballots have been sent to registered voters in the county's first Supervisorial District for the April 8 special primary election. Registered voters should have received their ballots beginning on Monday, March 10.
The First Supervisorial District includes the cities of Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City, and some communities within the City of San Diego, such as Barrio Logan, East Village, Golden Hill, and more. Additionally, District 1 includes the unincorporated areas of Bonita, East Otay Mesa, Lincoln Acres, Sunnyside, and La Presa.
The person elected will fill the district’s vacant seat for the remainder of the current term that ends in January 2029. If no candidate receives a majority vote at the April 8 election, the top two vote-getters will move on to the special general election on July 1. Only those who live in the district can vote in the election.
The move for a special election comes after District 1 Supervisor and Board Chairwoman Nora Vargas stepped down and vacated her seat for personal safety reasons. The race's winner will decide the partisan balance of the county's five-member board, represent the South County area, and help oversee the allocation of the county's $8 billion budget.

SD BOLTS 13-U CELEBRATES
By Darrel Wheeler CONTRIBUTING WRITER
On the third Sunday in March, the best 13-and-under football team in America’s Finest City assembled for the last time as a team at Dave & Buster’s in Mission Valley. The 13-U SD Bolts, led by Head Coach Joel Hardly and his Championship coaching staff, took turns on the microphone acknowledging their unique group of players.
Bolt Coaches Victor, Kieth, Ben, Lynell, Steven, JD, and Jason helped lead the way to a successful and unforgettable season. Family, friends, and well wishers were also invited to share in the SD Bolts “all-you-
can-eat” celebration and appreciation championship banquet experience.
“This season was loaded with challenges, but I loved how the coaches, parents, and the players handled and overcame all those obstacles like Champions do,” said Bolt’s parent, Barbara Reid Sheard.
The players received unlimited game-playing cards to go with their food, awards, applause, and a bunch of complimentary comments for their season of achievements.
“I enjoyed today. It was a lot of fun, and it was good to see everybody again because we are a family,” offensive MVP Davon Dunn shared. “And I think the coaches did a great job putting this banquet together.”
SAN DIEGO H.S. BASEBALL CLASSIC
Uniting Communities Through the Love of the Game
By Charles Warren CONTRIBUTING WRITER
When asked for one word to capture the spirit of the game, Black Baseball Media CEO and Co-Founder Coach E took a moment, letting the energy of the evening settle before confidently stating, "Element." He elaborated that baseball is more than just a game— it’s about embracing every element of competition, teamwork, and passion, shaping not just the players but the community that rallies behind them.
On March 22, 2025, baseball fans gathered at the University of San Diego for the highly anticipated San Diego High School Baseball Classic, an event organized by the AllHands-on Deck Foundation and Black Baseball Media. While two games were played that evening, the spotlight was on the intense rivalry matchup between Lincoln High School and Morse High School. The atmosphere was electric, and those in attendance were treated to a memorable night of high school baseball.
Fans from both schools filled the stands, showing their support with cheers, school colors, and an undeniable passion for the sport. The crowd enjoyed not only the game but also the lively music and the snack bar, adding to the vibrant experience of the evening.
In a dominant performance, Lincoln High School secured a resounding 9-1 victory over Morse High School, as reported by the MaxPreps Sports website. This win was especially significant for Lincoln, as it was only their fifth victory in 18 meetings between the two teams since the Spring 2016-2017 baseball season. Morse still holds the historical edge in the rivalry, leading with 13 wins over Lincoln. The game was more than just a contest between two teams; it was a celebration of high school baseball, community pride, and competition.
As the players took the field, emotions ran high. The intensity of the matchup was evident in the dugouts, where players shouted in an effort to distract opposing hitters and pitchers. The game felt like a playoff matchup, with every pitch and swing carrying weight, even though it was only a regular-season contest. The energy in the ballpark was intense, and each play sparked enthusiastic reactions from the crowd.
Lincoln High School’s impressive performance showcased their growth and determination to turn the tide in this long-standing rivalry. Their 9-1 win over Morse sends a strong message that they are a team to watch this season.
The San Diego High School Baseball Classic 2025 was a true celebration of baseball, bringing together students, parents, and sports enthusiasts for an unforgettable night. With Lincoln’s victory, the rivalry continues to evolve, and fans from both sides eagerly anticipate their next meeting on the diamond.

Laughter and excitement filled the air at the Sons and Daughters of Guam Club, Inc. on March 15th as families from all over the community gathered for a day of Easter fun. Held at 334 Willie James Jones Ave, this free event brought together children, parents, and volunteers for a joyful celebration packed with games, crafts, dancing, and, of course, Easter egg hunts.
The event featured two separate egg hunts to ensure fun for all ages: one for children aged six and under and another for those seven and older. The thrill of the hunt was visible on the faces of eager participants as they raced to find colorful eggs hidden throughout the area. Cheers and laughter erupted each time a child discovered a special egg, making for an unforgettable experience.
Adding to the excitement, the Easter Bunny made a special appearance, delighting children and families by posing in photos and sharing in the festivities. Many parents expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to create cherished memories with their little ones in a warm and welcoming environment.

Tinicia Smith and Sheri Jones brought together Black business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals for what they called a MEET-UP but was in all actuality a networking event at Year of the Fortune, a Black-owned restaurant located at 431 E St., San Diego, CA 92101. The meetup aimed to provide a space where Black profes sionals could connect and thrive without feeling like the only one in the room.
“Sheri was often the only Black realtor at networking events. She wanted to create a space where being Black in a professional space was not unusual,” said Tinicia Smith. She and Smith founded BSD to change that narrative by creat ing a community where Black professionals could engage, collaborate, and support one another.
The event was filled with engaging conversations, business strategy exchanges, and a celebration of Black excellence. Restaurant owner
Yusra Gharram provided a welcoming atmosphere where connections flourished, reinforcing the importance of Black-owned spaces in the local business ecosystem. BSD continues to be a crucial bridge in San Diego’s Black business community, proving that Black professionals are not isolated but part of a thriving network.
For those who missed this event, the next BSD Meet-Up is scheduled for April 12, 2025, from 12 PM to 3 PM at Understory, sponsored by Uncle Nearest, a Black-owned whiskey brand. BSD remains dedicated to fostering an inclusive and connected Black business community in San Diego. For more details, visit Black San Diego’s official platforms.

A Guide to Great Skin at Any Age
Here’s the secret for achieving a glowing complexion: there is no secret. In fact, a key factor in achieving great skin at any age comes down to one common denominator that’s no secret at all. It’s simply taking good care of your skin.
After all, your skin is your body’s single largest organ. It’s your protective shield, but it can also reveal the truth of your age, especially if you’re lax when it comes to regular skin care.
Make hydration a priority. Keeping the skin hydrated maintains its barrier integrity. When the skin becomes dry, it reduces the effectiveness of the skin barrier, making it less resilient against irritants and allergens. Often, when the skin is dry it feels more rough or flaky. With proper hydration, the skin feels smoother and looks more supple. Achieving hydration through a better skin care routine, drinking plenty of water daily and eating certain fruits and vegetables can improve your skin’s appearance, maintaining a radiant, healthy complexion.
Use the right soap. Despite what your mother may have told you, squeaky clean isn’t always best. A better bet when it comes to soap is a product that respects your skin’s moisture balance and cleanses without creating tightness or irritation.
Mild options such as Pears skin cleansing products are specifically formulated and dermatologically tested to be gentle on the skin. They’re made with plant-based glycerin, which is a powerful humectant that attracts water from the environment and deeper layers of the skin to the outer layer, keeping it hydrated. Glycerin-based cleansers can help prevent stripping of the skin’s natural oils, which averts a tight, dry feeling.
“More than ever, consumers are looking for mild and gentle products that are effective, smell good and work well,” said Dr. Adriana Lombardi, founder of the Skin Cancer & Cosmetic Surgery Center of New Jersey.
“Pears soap checks all the boxes. It creates a really nice, thick lather and smells crisp and clean while leaving the skin hydrated.”
Avoid hot showers. Even the best products may not overcome the potential harm that comes from taking showers that are too hot. The heat removes your skin’s natural oils, which leaves you prone to itching and dryness and may worsen skin conditions. Instead of cranking up the heat, opt for lukewarm temperatures and keep the shower time brief. Use moisturizing cleansers, and
after your shower, immediately apply moisturizer to replenish and rehydrate your skin. Protect your skin from the sun. After completing your skin cleansing routine, there’s an additional step to help maintain healthy, hydrated skin before heading outdoors: Take time to apply a layer of sunscreen to skin that will be exposed, including your face, ears and hands. Reapply every two hours if you’re spending a great deal of time outside. Sun damage can prematurely age the skin. You may not feel the heat as much during colder times of year, but the rays are still capable of damaging your skin, maybe even more so because you don’t feel the burn
3 Steps to Practice a Healthy Skin Routine
1. Use a humidifier in your room. Adding moisture to your environment may help prevent over-drying and promote better air quality for your overall health, including your skin.
2. Use glycerin-based soap. A glycerin-based soap like Pears gently cleanses your skin without stripping essential moisture.
3. Moisturize immediately after showering. Showering, especially at higher water temperatures, can strip your body’s natural
National Medical Association Advisory: What You Need to Know About Measles
Courtesy of the National Medical Association
The National Medical Association (NMA), representing the interests of the 50,000 African American physicians in the U.S., has issued the following advisory regarding the recent measles outbreak:
Measles cases are rising in the U.S., presenting a renewed public health threat.
As of March 18, 2025, more than 300 cases have been confirmed in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, with at least one confirmed death and another under investigation. The outbreak shows no signs of slowing.
Recognizing Symptoms
Measles symptoms typically appear 7 to 14 days after exposure and include:
• High fever
• C ough
• Runny nose
• R ed, watery eyes
• A red rash starting on the face and spreading across the body
If you or a family experience these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
Understanding the Risks
Measles is highly contagious, spreading through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can remain airborne for up to two hours in enclosed spaces. On average, one person with measles is likely to infect 12 to 18 others—a transmission rate significantly higher than COVID-19 or the flu. Measles isn’t just a little rash. Measles can be dangerous, especially for babies and young children. Severe complications are most common in children, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems. People with underlying conditions such as asthma or diabetes are also at greater risk. These severe complications can include pneumonia, brain swelling, permanent visual impairment (blindness hearing deficits (deafness) and even death.
Protecting Yourself and Your Family Vaccination remains the most effective defense against measles. The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is safe, reliable, and has prevented millions of cases globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends:
• C hildren receive their first MMR dose at 12 to 15 months and a second dose at 4 to 6 years. As a result of recent outbreaks of measles, it has been recommended that children
in areas where measles cases have occurred receive the vaccine as early as age 6 months
• Unvaccinated adults and teens get the vaccine, particularly before international travel.
• O lder adults who were vaccinated in childhood consult their physicians about the need for a booster.
Combating Misinformation
After being largely eliminated in the U.S., measles has resurged due to declining vaccination rates, often fueled by misinformation. Alternative treatments such as cod liver oil, steroids, and antibiotics are ineffective against measles. It is critical to rely on evidence-based medical advice.
Staying Informed
Protect your health and your community by getting vaccinated and encouraging others to do the same. The NMA urges you to prioritize reliable sources like the CDC and trusted healthcare providers for accurate information. Measles is preventable. Through vaccination and informed decision-making, we can protect our families and neighbors.

Plans To Shutter Education Department Add To Financial Aid Confusion
By Charlene Crowell Center for Responsible Lending
The chaos and confusion resulting from systemic changes and closures at multiple fed -
eral agencies have now reached the $242 billion budget of the Department of Education. With the agency’s workforce cut in half, and plans announced to shut it down, millions of students and families who rely on federal financial aid for higher education are facing a front-line assault.
State attorneys general in 20 states and the
District of Columbia filed a lawsuit challenging the agency’s gutting. According to the AGs, the department is a congressionally authorized executive agency with laws creating its various programs and funding streams. As such, the E xecutive Branch lacks the legal authority to unilaterally incapacitate or dismantle it without an act of Congress.
While it is encouraging for state attorneys general to file legal challenges against administration actions, and education advocates to raise their voices and influence to thwart these changes, every day that passes without direct relief makes borrowers’ financial challenges harder and more difficult to resolve.
Without additional funding, the grant shortfall is expected to balloon to $10 billion in 2026. Currently, the maximum annual award per eligible student in the formula-based program is $7,395. Most Pell recipients come from families whose total income is $60,540 or less.
It is relevant to note that the new round of cuts to the Pell Grant program are not the
first time that significant changes have been made. Instead, the new changes come in addition to others never restored. That same action also cut the number of lifetime semesters a student can receive Pell Grants from 18 to 12 semesters and remains unchanged.
In response to CBO’s disturbing report, a coalition of over 100 higher education organizations signed a February letter appealing to committee chairs and ranking members in both the Senate and the House to act with dispatch. Its signatories included an array of organizations such as: the American Association of University Women, Center for Law & Social Policy, Georgetown University Center on Education & the Workforce, NAACP, National Education Association, National Consumer Law Center, Student Borrower Protection Center, and the United Negro College Fund.
And speaking of loans – borrowers understand that when it takes longer to repay principal owed, interest fees rise as well. Further, fixed interest rates on graduate student loans come at a higher price than those for undergraduate loans. New federal direct loans disbursed between July 1, 2024 and July 1, 2025 carry 6.53 percent
but an 8.08 percent rate for
