THE INFLATION FROM TARIFFS THAT ECONOMISTS FEARED BEGINS TO EMERGE
By Christopher Rugaber and Josh Boak
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Inflation rose last month to its highest level since February as President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs push up the cost of a range of goods, including furniture,
clothing, and large appliances.
Consumer prices rose 2.7% in June from a year earlier, the Labor Department said Tuesday, up from an annual increase of 2.4% in May. On a monthly basis, prices climbed 0.3% from May to June, after rising just 0.1% the previous month.
“ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL” BLOWS HOLE IN CALIFORNIA’S BUDGET
Threatens State’s health and climate plans
“Pres. Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” signed into law on July 4, is already reshaping California’s 2025–26 state budget.
With $1.6 to $2 trillion in projected federal spending cuts over the next decade, the law slashes Medicaid, food assistance, housing, transportation, education, and clean energy programs — centerpieces of California’s social safety net programs and the state’s equity goals.

The cost of gasoline rose 1% just from May to June, while grocery prices increased 0.3%. Appliance prices jumped for the third straight month. Toys, clothes, audio equipment, shoes, and sporting goods all got more expensive, and are all heavily imported.

Zora Neale Hurston is one of the most acclaimed authors of the 20th century. She is closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance, a period of creativity and rebirth for African American authors, artists, and musicians.
More than 60 years after acclaimed author Zora Neale Hurston resided in a modest home on a quiet street in Fort Pierce, Florida, that property has been protected. But more help is needed to ensure it permanently honors Hurston’s legacy.

“You are starting to see scattered bits of the tariff inflation regime filter in,” said Eric Winograd, chief economist at asset management firm AllianceBernstein, who added that the cost of long-lasting goods rose last month, compared with a year ago, for the first time in about three years.
“Were it not for the tariff uncertainty, the Fed would already be cutting rates,” Winograd said. “The question is whether there is more to come, and the Fed clearly thinks there is,” along with most economists.
Some items got cheaper last month, including new and used cars, hotel rooms, and air fares. Travel prices have generally declined in recent months as fewer international tourists visit the U.S.
BILL
Gov. Gavin Newsom called the bill “a complete betrayal of Americans by the Trump administration,” warning that it “decimates middle-class opportunities — including health care and children’s access to college.”
Medi-Cal and Health Services
The law’s most immediate impact falls on Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program, which covers about 15 million residents — nearly one-third of all state residents. Black Californians are especially at risk, relying on Medi-Cal more often than other groups due to chronic health disparities and economic inequality. Currently, over 3 in 5 (61%) Black children and youth and almost half of all Black residents — rely on Medi-Cal for their health coverage.
The new law replaces Medicaid’s open-ended federal match with capped block grants. Since the federal government funds about 60% of Medi-Cal, analysts estimate California could conservatively lose $2.8 billion per year in federal funding over 10 years.
Anticipating federal cuts, California’s enacted 2025–26 budget increases General Fund spending on Medi-Cal to $39 billion — about $1.2 bi llion higher than the previous year. Still, officials warn that optional benefits such as dental, vision, and CalAIM services may be reduced if federal support isn’t restored.

The report set up a broader political battle over Trump’s tariffs, a fight that will ultimately be determined by how the U.S. public feels about their cost of living and whether the president is making good on his 2024 promise that his agenda would help the middle class.
The White House pushed back on claims that the report showed a negative impact from tariffs, since the cost of new cars were down despite the 25% tariffs on autos and 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum. The administration also noted that despite the June bump in apparel prices, clothing prices are still cheaper than they were three months ago.
“Consumer Prices LOW,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Bring down the Fed Rate, NOW!!!”
For Democratic lawmakers, the inflation report confirmed their warnings over the past several months that Trump’s tariffs would
CalAIM — California Advancing and innovating Medi-Cal — provides Enhanced Care Management, medically tailored meals, transitional rent, sobering centers, and doula care to high-need groups like the unhoused and chronically ill.
Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson (D–San Diego), chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), warned: “It will force low-income seniors to choose between medicine and rent, leave children with chronic illnesses without consistent care, and strip people with disabilities of daily support.”
The Groundwork Collaborative, an economic think tank, estimates 3.5 million Californians could lose Medi-Cal coverage. Another 250,000 may lose Covered California plans if the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies expire in 2025.
The state has already frozen Medi-Cal enrollment for undocumented adults and plans to impose $30 monthly premiums for enrollees aged 19–59 starting in 2027. Optional benefits could be suspended if the funding gap grows.
Food, Education, and Work Requirements
The One Big Beautiful Bill expands work requirements for CalFresh (SNAP). Beginning in 2026, adults under 65 must work, volunteer, or attend training 80 hours per month to keep benefits —extending requirements that previously applied only to adults under 50.
push up inflation. Their argument on Tuesday was that the situation will likely get even more painful given the size of the tariff rates in the letters that Trump posted over the past week.
Trump has imposed sweeping duties of 10% on all imports plus 30% on goods from China. Just last week the president threatened to hit the European Union with a new 30% tariff starting Aug. 1.
He has also threatened to slap 50% duties on Brazil, which would push up the cost of orange juice and coffee. Orange prices leaped 3.5% just from May to June, and are 3.4% higher than a year ago, the government said Tuesday [July 15].
Overall, grocery prices rose 0.3% last month and are up 2.4% from a year earlier. While that is a much smaller annual increase than before the pandemic, it is slightly bigger than the pre-pandemic pace. The Trump adminis-
Medi-Cal expansion enrollees face similar conditions unless exempt. These changes pose barriers for low-income Californians who struggle to find consistent work.
Because CalFresh enrollment affects Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) allocations to schools, a decline in participation could reduce funding for schools serving Black and low-income students.
The Education Trust (EdTrust) called the law “nothing short of the Great American Heist — a cruel, calculated effort to strip students and working families of education, healthcare, and economic mobility.”
Climate and Transportation Cuts
California had received federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funding for clean energy and transit projects in underserved communities like South L.A., Richmond, and Oakland — including an $8 million urban forestry grant for Oakland. The repeal of these provisions threatens weatherization efforts, zero-emission bus deployment, and air-quality improvements.
The Center for American Progress warned the rollback could raise energy costs and worsen air quality in low-income neighborhoods. Transit agencies now face delayed projects and potential layoffs as funding evaporates.
State Response and Political Divide
Lawmakers are seeking federal waivers to preserve CalAIM services before the current authorization expires in December 2026.
tration has also placed a 17% duty on Mexican tomatoes.
The Fed chair [Jerome Powell] has said that the duties could both push up prices and slow the economy, a tricky combination for the central bank since higher costs would typically lead the Fed to hike rates while a weaker economy often spurs it to reduce them.
Last week, White House officials attacked Powell for cost overruns on the years-long renovation of two Fed buildings, which are now slated to cost $2.5 billion, roughly onethird more than originally budgeted. While Trump legally can’t fire Powell just because he disagrees with his interest rate decisions, the Supreme Court has signaled, he may be able to do so “for cause,” such as misconduct or mismanagement.
While California’s Congressional Democrats opposed the bill, Republicans supported it. Rep. Vince Fong (R–Bakersfield) said the bill “delivers immediate and meaningful results for the Central Valley, provides much-needed tax relief for working families and small businesses.”
However, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill will add $3.4 trillion to the national debt over ten years. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget puts the figure at $4.1 trillion, while the Cato Institute estimates as much as $6 trillion.
“People are still going to get sick. They're still going to have babies,” said Gbenga Ajilore, Chief Economist at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities. “But now the cost of care will shift to hospitals and the state. That’s not good policy— it’s just moving the burden downstream.”
Supporters say the “One Big Beautiful Bill” curbs fraud in Medicaid and SNAP, but critics argue it targets recipients — not fraud — and pushes eligible people off needed programs.
Critics say the cuts are designed to fund tax breaks for the wealthy, not reduce the deficit. The law leaves California’s 2025-2026 budget fixes vulnerable. Without lasting federal aid, low-income Californians -including those in Black communities — will bear the brunt, facing cuts to health care, housing, and climate programs.

OUR BLACK PRESS, OUR
By Dr. John E. Warren
PUBLISHER, THE SAN DIEGO VOICE & VIEWPOINT CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, NNPA
Let it first be said that this commentary is not intended as a criticism of any person or organization, but a gentler reminder of who we are, what we are confronting and how we survive.
First we must remember that we have been telling our own story for 198 years. That means through slavery, Jim Crow lynchings, segregation and every human horror you can think of, we have been successful because we have worked together, the Black Press and our communites. The big difference today is not the President, his MAGA efforts, anti-DEI (just another term for anti equality, anti Affirmative Action, etc), but our efforts to attempt to deal with the issues as individuals and organizations. Simply stated, we have a generation that has grown up on Social Media instead of remembering the Black Press is still our “Trusted Messenger.” Some of the blame rests on our papers, many of whom are
struggling to keep up and survive in a rapidly changing time.
The attack on our people, organizations and institutions is just as real as the raids on immigrants. The attack is on the funding of programs and services that so many of us have come to rely upon. Along with that has come a corporate reduction in ad revenue for our newspapers.
Over the past 198 years, when we didn’t have ads, we had the support, often financial, of our people and our communities. Our communities supported our papers with their personal interest and support of what we did as well as their few dollars. Today, we the collective African American population have more income than ever before and often fail to see the importance of maintaining the Black Press as one of the two most important institutions in our lives, the second one being the Black Church, which is another story.
This week the National Urban League is meeting in Cleveland, Ohio and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. The National Urban League President, Marc Morial, is on board with the importance of the Black Press. He addressed the topic at the recent annual meeting of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA). It is important that all our organizations restore the Black Press as a key partner in this battle for survival that we all are engaged in. The Black Press publishes the press releases and events of our organizations, but do we encourage those corporations and businesses that we give our hard earned dollars to, to advertise their products and services in our media outlets when they spend billions of dollars each year on mainstream media and now social networks, but give nothing back? Case in point, this week as our two oldest and largest Civil Rights organizations meet
OUT-OF-TOUCH D.C. ELITES SHOULDN’T DICTATE CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING POLICIES
By Darlene Futrel
San Diego families know the pain of California’s housing crisis firsthand. Rents are sky-high, affordable homes are hard to find, and far too many people are at risk of losing the roof over their heads.
“We are in a housing crisis.” That’s how Rep. Robert Garcia, a California Democrat, recently summed up the situation in our state. And he’s right. More than just an economic issue, housing access is a civil rights issue — and fortunately, California Democrats are beginning to treat it that way.
The numbers are staggering. California is home to nearly 30% of the nation’s homeless population, even though it has just 12% of its people. The crisis hits Black and Latino families hardest. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition, 70% of extremely low-income renters in California are people of color, and many spend more than half their income on rent.
The root of the problem? A lack of housing supply — especially affordable housing. The state has added fewer than 100,000 new homes per year over the past decade, far short of the 300,000 homes per year that Gov. Gavin Newsom says are needed. As a result, mid-tier home prices are more than twice the national average, and rents have soared.
in the cities named above, have they encouraged their corporate sponsors to advertise their meetings in the local Black newspapers and media outlets since we are both print and digital? Why are we still talking about getting business with Target when too many of us are still giving our dollars to Target as well as Marshall’s, which is owned by Target?
African Americans spend approximately 4 trillion dollars a year, which is larger than some world economies. Why are we still meeting and holding panel discussions on problems we already know how to address? Solution: Remember that corporate America and business only respect three things: (1) loss profits, (2) bad publicity and (3) votes cast against their interest. We have the ability to influence all three without calling for a “boycott” or “fast”.
Instead of rhetoric, we should be demanding that a “paid” presence in our newspapers becomes the first indicator of appreciation and value for our business. But we can never demand that others respect us more than we respect ourselves.
Our Churches, fraternities and sororities, businesses and nonprofits that our papers report on week after week providing a tangible record of their events and activities, must return to both financially support our paper and insisting that those we spend money with do the same.
After you read this, please find at least 5 people who you know would not read this without your making it available to them and discussing it with them. Remember, our survival depends on God and us, not those who appear to be in control.
A Luta Continua! The Struggle Continues. Where do you stand?
Thankfully, a new generation of Democrats is leading a change. Lawmakers like Garcia, Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, Senate leader Scott Wiener, and Speaker Robert Rivas are embracing housing reform as a path toward racial and economic justice. They’re part of the growing YIMBY (Yes In My Back Yard) movement that supports zoning reform and affordable housing development to meet demand and bring down prices.
They are right: removing outdated policies — like exclusionary zoning and bureaucratic red tape — that have been used for decades to keep lower-income people, especially people of color, out of certain communities, is long overdue. Making it easier to build multi-family housing, mixed-income projects, and low-cost units is critical if California is going to reverse generations of segregation and displacement.
But progress isn’t coming easy. Opposition has come not only from NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard activists) in affluent suburbs, but also from groups like the American Economic Liberties Project (AELP), based in Washington, D.C. AELP has led efforts to ban algorithmic pricing tools used by landlords, arguing they inflate rents. But this isn’t true. They only report on what the going housing rates are at any one given time. Banning them for reporting that a housing shortage and inflation have pushed prices up is no different than shooting the messenger, and that never makes sense.

Black Americans Still Face Deep Retirement Gaps
Despite higher incomes
By Stacy M. Brown Black Press USA Senior National Correspondent
Areport from the Employee Benefit Research Institute shows that Black Americans continue to face serious challenges in saving for retirement, even as their incomes grow.
The 2025 Retirement Confidence Survey, which included a special oversample of Black workers and retirees, found that the wealth gap remains wide at every income level. Among households earning $75,000 or more, only 33% of Black Americans reported having $250,000 or more in savings and investments, compared with 63% of non-Black Americans. Debt remains a significant barrier. 63% of higher-income Black households said debt is a problem, while just 45% of non-Black households at the same income level said the same. Nearly half of upper-income Black respondents said debt affects their ability to save or live comfortably in retirement.
While many Black Americans expressed confidence managing dayto-day budgets, fewer felt prepared to invest or plan for the long term. The study showed that Black Americans with higher incomes were less likely to have personally saved for retirement, 77%, compared with 87% of non-
Black Americans. Retirement experiences also differed sharp ly. Forty-four percent of Black retirees said they retired earlier than planned because of a health problem or disability, compared with 32% of non-Black retirees.
After leaving their main jobs, Black retirees were more likely to work for pay to make ends meet, and more often said their retirement lifestyle was worse than expected. Access to financial advice and planning remains uneven. Just 31% of Black respondents reported currently working with a financial advisor, although nearly half expect to do so in the future. Black Americans were more likely to seek help with reducing debt, creating wills or estate plans, and arranging life insurance than simply determining if they had saved enough to retire.
Researchers Craig Copeland and Lisa Greenwald wrote, “Black Americans reported disproportionately lower financial resources, and how they feel about retirement and financial security is clearly impacted by having less resources.” They continued, “In particular, Black retirees are struggling with higher likelihoods of their retirement lifestyle being worse than expected and having to retire earlier than planned because of a health problem or disability.” “Still,” the researchers concluded, “there are some modifications in the financial system that could help improve their prospects, such as increased assistance in balancing competing financial priorities like debt reduction, supporting family, and building long-term savings.”

Cameroon’s President Seeks An Eighth Term
At the age of 92
By Nalova Akua And Wilson Mcmakin Associated Press
Cameroon’s 92-year-old president announced Sunday [July 13th] he will seek his eighth term in the October elections. The announcement comes after speculation the aging leader would not run, setting the stage for an electoral showdown.
“Rest assured that my determination to serve you is commensurate with the serious challenges facing us.”
–Paul Biya
Paul Biya, Africa’s second-longestserving president after Teodoro Obiang of Equatorial Guinea, is frequently sick and abroad. Last year, talk spread that he had died, prompting the government to publicly deny the rumors. Cameroon’s second president since independence from France in 1960, Biya has been in power since 1982.
Promising that the best is yet to come in his post on social media, Biya reiterated his determination to rule, saying, “Rest assured that my determination to serve you is commensurate with the serious challenges facing us.”
The more than 40 years of Biya’s rule have left a lasting impact. His government has faced various challenges, including allega-
tions of corruption and a secessionist movement in Cameroon’s English-speaking provinces that has forced thousands out of school and triggered deadly clashes with security forces.
“President Biya’s announcement to run again is a clear sign of Cameroon’s stalled political transition. After over 40 years in power, what the country needs is renewal — not repetition. Cameroonians deserve democratic change and accountable leadership,” Nkongho Felix Agbor, a human rights advocate and lawyer told The Associated Press.
Cameroon has also had to deal with spillover violence by the Islamic extremist Boko Haram group, based in neighboring Nig-
eria.
Recently, several of Biya’s longtime allies defected to announce their own candidacies for president.
He cruised to victory in 2018 with over 70% of the vote in an election marred by irregularities and low turnout due to ongoing separatist and jihadi violence.
In a region threatened with shrinking democratic space, several other African countries also have presidents accused of using state mechanisms to prolong their stay in power. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni recently sought nomination for a seventh term, a move that would bring him closer to five decades in power in the East African country.

Jeanne Denise Coleman was born on May 12, 1948, in Gary, Indiana, to the late Pastor Edgar Lee Robinson and Iago Osgood Robinson. She peacefully passed away on June 11, 2025, in Mint Hill, North Carolina.
A proud “preacher’s kid” and only child, Jeanne accepted Christ at a young age and carried her faith with humor and wisdom. She spent her early years in Gary, just blocks away from the Jackson Five, before relocating with her family to San Diego, California, in the early 1960s when her father was called to pastor his own church.
She attended Memorial Junior High School before graduating from San Diego High School with her diploma. She later met her first love, Clarence “Jack” Pearson, Jr. The two were married in 1968 and welcomed a daughter, Kimberly Rochelle. In 1980, Jeanne married Kendall Lennie Coleman, and together they raised their son, Kevane La’Marr.
Known affectionately as “JJ,” “Jay,” and “Mama C,” Jeanne was the life of every party.
She was a talented first baseman on an all-Black women’s softball team and loved to dance and play racquetball. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree from United States International University and a Master’s Degree in Education from San Diego State University. Jeanne built a distinguished career with the San Diego City School District, where she taught Physical Education, Social Studies, English, and History, and at one time served as the softball coach for Mission Bay High School. She was a longtime team member at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, where she worked for 41 years and was recognized for her outstanding contributions.
Jeanne was known for her generous heart, funny personality, and commitment to helping others. She often shared meals, offered shelter, and gave advice freely. She lived by the motto: “You’d better do what you can while you can.”
She was preceded in death by her parents and one infant sibling.
She is survived by her daughter Kimberly (Ricky) of Indian Trail, NC, her son Kevane of Valley Center, CA, and a host of relatives, friends, and coworkers. Special lifelong friends include Mrs. Margaret Carter and family, Ms. Era Turner and family, Ms. Shirley Austin and family, Mrs. Kathy McCray and family, and Mrs. DeSha Walker and family.

Local dignitaries were also in the mix at the big Summer Bash, showing their support for the com munity’s youth.
From 10 am till 4 pm, the park was the place to appreciate some fun under the sun, enjoy the company of old friends, and meet some new ones, put together by the hard-working folks of Cherish Moments.
“This is a day for the community to come together and also remind the kids they are seen, valued, and deeply cherished,” emphasized Kimberly Foster of Elegant Divas.
“This celebration was about honoring our youth, uplifting families and creating a safe, joy-filled space,” shared organizer Sherrell Kinsler of Cherish Moments Non-Profit Organization. “We wanted to create a place where laughter and love take center stage.”

Attorney General Bonta Sues Trump Administration for Illegally Sharing Californians’ Personal Health Data with ICE
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, leading a 20-state coalition, has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for unlawfully sharing Medicaid data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The suit argues that this mass transfer of data violates federal privacy laws and undermines decades of Medicaid protections, putting millions at risk.
Bonta warns the policy could cause noncitizens to avoid seeking emergency care, creating public health and financial burdens for states. The coalition seeks to block future data transfers and prevent the use of Medicaid data for immigration enforcement.
Workers, Family Members, and Community Groups Sue DHS for Unlawful Arrest and Detention Scheme
On July 1, workers, family members, and advocacy groups sued the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in federal court for unlawfully arresting and detaining Southern California residents. The suit alleges that
immigration agents, under Trump-era quotas, are conducting suspicionless stops, warrantless arrests without evaluations of flight risk, and detaining people in unsafe, overcrowded, and inhumane conditions—particularly in a federal basement facility known as “B-18” in downtown Los Angeles. Plaintiffs include farmworkers, legal service providers, and community groups like CHIRLA and the United Farm Workers. They seek class-action status and an end to these practices, citing violations of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
Since June 6, raids have intensified across Los Angeles, Ventura County, and beyond, targeting communities of color. Families report loved ones being denied food, beds, medical care, and legal access. “The federal government is abducting community members off the streets and warehousing them in deplorable conditions away from their loved ones, all while denying them access to legal counsel,” said Alvaro M. Huerta, director of litigation & advocacy at Immigrant Defenders Law Center. “It’s blatantly unconstitutional, cruelly inhumane, and a violation of any common decency.” Legal groups including the ACLU and Public Counsel argue the detentions are unconstitutional and meant to instill fear.

Sugar and Cream Cancel Coffee’s Health Perks
By Stacy M. Brown
Press
Drinking coffee may help you live longer— but only if it’s black. A new long-term study analyzing the coffee habits of more than 46,000 U.S. adults found that coffee drinkers had a lower risk of dying from any cause, but only when the coffee was consumed without significant amounts of added sugar or saturated fat. Researchers from Tufts University published the findings in the journal Nutritional Epidemiology, drawing on two decades of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which was linked to National Death Index records. The study tracked adults 20 years and older from 1999 to 2018 and examined not only how much coffee they drank but also what they put in it.
Participants who drank 1 to 3 cups of coffee per day saw up to a 17% lower risk of allcause mortality compared to non-coffee drinkers. But those benefits disappeared for people who regularly added cream, sweeteners, or other high-fat, high-sugar ingredients to their coffee. Over the median 9 to 11-year follow-up period, researchers documented more than 7,000 deaths among participants,
including 1,176 from cancer and 1,089 from cardiovascular disease. When broken down further, the data showed that drinking black coffee or coffee with minimal sugar and saturated fat was associated with a 14% lower risk of death. “The health benefits of coffee might be attributable to its bioactive compounds, but our results suggest that the addition of sugar and saturated fat may reduce the mor-
tality benefits,” said Dr. Fang Fang Zhang, senior author of the study and a professor at Tufts University.
The study defined “low” sugar as less than 2.5 grams and “low” saturated fat as less than 1 gram per 8-ounce cup. Most coffee drinkers in the study exceeded those thresholds. On average, each cup contained 3.24 grams
of added sugar and 0.52 grams of saturated fat. Researchers employed Cox proportional hazards models to investigate the relationship between coffee consumption and mortality. The strongest associations were observed among those drinking between 1 to 3 cups of coffee daily, primarily when consumed black. The study’s authors stated that the findings support previous research indicating that compounds naturally found in coffee, such as polyphenols and chlorogenic acids, may offer antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, they cautioned that these benefits may be negated by the addition of sugary syrups and high-fat creamers, which contribute empty calories and may increase health risks over time.
Also, a separate Harvard study tracking nearly 48,000 women over three decades found that those who drank at least one cup of coffee daily were more likely to reach age 70 in good health—free of major chronic diseases and cognitive decline—compared to non-coffee drinkers. Researchers concluded that regular coffee consumption was associated with what they termed “healthy aging” in women. “Given how common coffee drinking is in the U.S., it’s important for people to know that how they take their coffee can make a difference,” Zhang said.
San Diego Unified School District has approved a phone-free school day policy for the 2025-26 school year, with implementation beginning Aug. 11, the first day of the school year.
The phone-free school day policy, developed in accordance with California's Phone-Free School Act (Assembly Bill 3216), establishes guidelines designed to reduce interruptions to learning, foster in-person connection among peers and support healthy boundaries with technology. The state law requires all public school districts to adopt policies by July 1, 2026, making San Diego Unified an early adopter.
Policy Framework
The policy establishes that phones may not be used during regular school hours as defined by each school's bell schedule. Phone use is permitted before and after school hours, with high schools allowing additional use before the first bell, during lunch and passing periods.
In accordance with California's Phone-Free School Act (AB 3216), the phone-free school day policy provides flexibility for students with diverse learning and health requirements through the following exceptions:
• Emergency situations
• Health-related purposes or as required by an Individualized Education Program or Section 504 plan
• I nstructional use explicitly authorized by educators
Phone-free school day policy details, fre quently asked questions and resources for families are available at www.sandiegouni fied.org/PhoneFreePolicy Enforcement
The phone-free school day policy estab lishes a progressive consequence struc ture designed to support student compli ance using Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and Restorative Justice Practices (RJP). Initial interventions include verbal reminders, referral to a counselor, or contacting parents to review the policy. Subsequent infractions may result in classroom educators retaining phones until the

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF Somchith Sithong
Case Number: 25PE001898C
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate or both, of Somchith Sithong
A Petition for Probate has been filed by Saiclyn Sithong in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego.
The Petition for Probate requests that Saiclyn Sithong be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The Petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:
August 19, 2025 at 10:00 A.M. in Department 504 located at the Superior Court of California County of San Diego 1100 Union St. San Diego, CA 92101 Probate Division
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

1959
BILLIE HOLIDAY PASSES AWAY
Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan in 1915, was one of the most influential jazz vocalists of the 20th century. Raised in poverty and marked by trauma, she began singing in Harlem nightclubs as a teenager and rose to fame after her 1933 debut with Benny Goodman. Her emotionally raw voice reflected her painful life experiences.
Holiday broke barriers touring with white bands and recorded powerful songs like Strange Fruit and God Bless the Child. She died on July 17, 1959 at age 44.
1967
JOHN COLTRANE PASSES AWAY
John Coltrane, born in 1926 in North Carolina, was one of the most influential jazz saxophonists of the 20th century. Rooted in Black church traditions and trained in Philadelphia, Coltrane developed a groundbreaking style that blended African, spiritual, and avant-garde elements.
He rose to fame with Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk before leading his own legendary quartet. Works like Giant Steps, A Love Supreme, and Alabama fused music with Black liberation and spiritual depth. He died on July 17, 1967 of liver cancer.
D.C. Elites:
Continued from page 3
Nevertheless, some cities have adopted the idea, including San Diego, San Francisco, and Berkeley, and there have been multiple proposals for statewide bans, with Democratic governors, such as Jared Polis (D-CO), vetoing others.
Price controls rarely work. In San Francisco, attempts to expand rent control led to a 15% reduction in rental units, as landlords converted properties into high-end condos, according to Stanford economists. Less supply means higher prices and fewer options, especially for working families.
AELP’s quest to ban this pricing software is reflected in its broader economic philosophy — that we have too much “wealth, energy, and stuff.” This might sound reasonable in D.C. salons and cigar bars, but it’s tone-deaf to the reality faced by Black and brown renters here in California. These families need more housing, not less.
This is why even progressive voices like economist Julianne Malveaux have warned against blanket anti-market policies like AELP’s algorithmic pricing ban. Smart regulation matters, but banning helpful pricing tools or capping prices just to score political points only makes things worse for the very people progressives claim to protect.
There’s encouraging momentum. This year, a statewide rent control bill failed in the Assembly. In its place, lawmakers are advancing bills that speed up affordable housing approvals, curb exclusionary zoning, and hold localities accountable for blocking development. Buffy Wicks put it plainly: “We’ve got to make it easier to build more housing in California.”
For the National Action Network and other nonprofits focused on racial justice, this is a moment to act. The fight for affordable housing is about more than economics. It’s about dignity, opportunity, and finally delivering on the promise of equal access to safe, affordable homes, no matter your zip code or your skin color.
Darlene Futrel is the President of the Orange County Chapter of Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and preserving racial justice.
