SAN BERNARDINO, CA-San Bernardino County Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr., in partnership with the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD), brought holiday cheer to Muscoy Elementary School on December 9 by distributing toys to all 650 students and presenting the school with $5,000 to be used for the school's greatest need. The event created a moment of joy for students and highlighted the strong community partnership supporting children in the Muscoy community.

A school staff room was transformed into a cheerful Santa's workshop filled with toys of every kind. Tables were stacked with bright pink Barbies, sturdy Tonka trucks and stuffed animals in every size and color. Everywhere you looked there was something that promised joy for a child.

Supervisor Baca, Jr. greeted students and per- sonally handed out toys to them. The campus was filled with excitement as each child re-

BUSCOU ceived a gift to brighten their holiday season. For Muscoy Elementary Principal Juan Ortiz, the meaning of Tuesday's celebration goes far beyond the gifts that students received.

"This is exactly the kind of community sup- port that lifts our students and reminds them they are valued," Ortiz said. "Our kids will remember this generosity long after the toys are gone. Moments like this show them that people believe in their future."

Supervisor Baca, Jr. emphasized that Muscoy is family to him and underscored his commit- ment to the community's young people.

"This event ensures every student receives a toy-no matter their financial situation and reminds them that their community is here to support, uplift and celebrate them."

Muscoy sixth-grade student Yaretzi Romero summed up the moment with these words: "it's so awesome."

"Supervisor Baca is so nice for doing this."

Romero continued as she waited for her class to select toys. "I really love plushies of all types, and I'm hoping to get one."

SBCUSD Assistant Superintendent of Stu- dent Services Dr. Sandra Rodriguez expressed gratitude for the partnership and the ongoing support Supervisor Baca, Jr., provides to the Muscoy community.

"There are people in this community who think of you and care about you," Rodriguez told students gathered for the assembly. "They believe in you, and they know you're going to have a bright future."

The event is part of Supervisor Baca Jr.'s continued efforts to uplift children in under- served areas and strengthen ties between local government and schools. Muscoy Elementary School students left the event with smiles and a renewed sense of holiday spirit.

Getting SB 237 passed in the Assembly. I had the opportunity to co-lead a diverse workgroup of colleagues, spanning a wide range of ideological perspectives on en- vironmental issues. Leading this group and developing a policy that the Legislature could support helped strengthen my confidence in my leadership and negotiation abilities, and it reaffirmed the value of bringing people together around complex challenges.

Assemblymember Lori D. Wil- son (D-Suisun City) joined the California Legislature in 2022 after making history as Sola- no County's first Black female mayor, bringing with her a track record of fiscal discipline, com- munity investment, and inclusive leadership.

She represents the state's 11th Assembly District, which spans Solano County and portions of Contra Costa and Sacramento Counties. In her first 18 months in office, she advanced 11 bills to the Governor's desk and secured millions in state funding for criti- cal local needs, from housing and electric vehicle infrastructure to flood resilience, transportation improvements, and public safety. Her rise has also included several historic firsts: she is the only Black woman ever appointed to lead the influential Assembly Transpor- tation Committee, and the first freshman legislator elected Chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus. She has also been a vocal advocate for vulnerable commu- nities, becoming the first Califor-

By Joe W. Bowers Jr. | California Black Media support Inglewood Unified School District. She spoke with Califor- nia Black Media to reflect on the year and her work. Here are her responses to seven key questions, edited for length and clarity.

Looking back on 2025, what do you see as your biggest win-the thing you're proudest of getting done or moving forward? Assembly Bill (AB) 628. If rent is $3,000, people should at least have a stove and a refrigerator. I thought it was ridiculous that people were renting without basic appliances, so making sure every rental unit includes them was im- portant.

I'm also proud that I was able to secure $8.4 million in the state budget for people coming home from incarceration. That includes the Homecoming Project, the menopause program for incarcer- ated women, and the Justice Lead- ers Program. I want people to be able to come home and live-and not go back.

W Hungy and community members to show up and serve with purpose.

The success of the event was made possible through the collec- tive efforts of volunteers and sup- porters who generously gave their time to uplift others. Their contri- butions exemplified the true spirit of Thanksgiving-gratitude, gen- erosity, and love for one another.

Images from the event were courtesy of Engaging Captures Caught, with photography servic- es provided by Motivational Real- izations. More information about their work can be found at Moti- vationalRealizations.com.

As the holiday season contin- ues, the 10th Annual Feeding the Homeless Event stands as a reminder that consistent acts of kindness can transform lives and strengthen communities—one meal, one moment, and one heart at a time.

This year's celebration was no exception, as more than 200 hot Thanksgiving meals were distributed along with pairs of new socks, offering not only nourishment but dignity and warmth during the holiday season.

Special recognition is extended to Lucretia L. Dowdy, whose un- wavering commitment, kindness, and heart for service have guided this initiative for ten years and counting. Her dedication contin- ues to inspire volunteers, partners,

SAN BERNARDINO, CA--- The Westside Action Group (WAG) recently honored long- time community photographer, Joh Coleman. Redlands resident John Coleman has been photographing African Americans in Redlands and nearby cities since the 1980s.

Coleman began photographing African Amer- icans to show them in a positive light as they go about their daily lives. Now retired from a career in administration and admissions University of California at Riverside, Coleman continues to take pictures.

"The African American community is an in- terest I have that the camera has given me an ability to express," Coleman said. "Most pic- tures in the media of people of color are nega- tive, and I want to show the African American community as they live and in a positive way. I just record people living life, show what they are doing."

He began photographing personal events and now photographs others' family gatherings, public events, fundraisers. He considers his photography a volunteer effort, as he donates his services to the event and sends the pictures to those involved. Coleman also sends his pho- tos for local African American papers, so they may be published.

WESTSIDESTORY NEWSPAPER community organizations an- nounced the formation of Kaleido- scope Global Network this week, with a goal of confronting global and American inequality and pro- moting social justice through a framework rooted in shared moral and spiritual values.

Kaleidoscope leader Rev. Chuck Singleton of Loveland Church in Southern California outlined the organization's mission as a force for "transformation and hope" in an era of rapid change and com- plex global challenges. The co- alition comprises a diverse range of partners, including grassroots organizations, civic associations, socially responsible businesses, and educational institutions.

"We were born from heartfelt conversations among faith and civil rights leaders about the need to inspire and continue legacies of justice across generations," said Rev. Singleton. "Our mission is nothing less than to reshape the world through a deep moral and spiritual dedication to these time- less values."

Kaleidoscope Global Network Launches to Promote Justice, Equity

"We were born from heartfelt conversations among faith and civil rights leaders about the need to inspire and continue legacies of justice across generations," said Rev. Dr. Chuck Single- ton of Loveland Church in California.

Dr. Chuck Singleton, Senior Rev. of the multi-campus Loveland Church and leader of Kaleidoscope Global Network, a new interna- tional coalition of faith leaders, civil rights advocates, and commu- nity organizations.

Kaleidoscope's platform is built on seven core principles: (i) eco- nomic empowerment, (ii) youth and educational uplift, (iii) po- litical and civic engagement, (iv) global engagement, v) health and wellness, (vi) criminal justice re- form, and (vii) the strengthening of faith and family structures. In its founding document, the movement draws inspiration from religious and philosophical tradi- tions, quoting the biblical passage from Zechariah to "...adminis- ter true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another" as a guiding principle for its vision of a more compassionate society.

"To achieve its goals, the coali- tion will focus on five objectives: catalyze advocacy, provide educa- tion and build capacity, forge col- laborative partnerships, develop innovative solutions, and advance research on social issues," Rev. Singleton explains.

Representing the 28th Senate District, Sen. Lola Smallwood- Cuevas (D-Los Angeles) brings a lifelong commitment to working families, shaped by her upbringing as the daughter of a single mother who was a military veteran and a registered nurse.

After earning her communica- tions degree from California State University Hayward (now known as CSU, East Bay), Smallwood- Cuevas began her career as a jour- nalist telling the stories of work- ing people—an experience that drew her into the labor movement and her first union role with the Newspaper Guild.

Since being elected to the Cali- fornia State Senate, Smallwood- Cuevas has made it her mis- sion to champion legislation that strengthens worker protections, expands access to justice, and uplifts historically marginalized communities.

California Black Media (CBM) spoke with Smallwood-Cuevas about her successes and disap- pointments this year, as well as her goals for 2026.

2025 in Review: Seven Questions for Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas – an Advocate for Jobs and Justice

By Edward Henderson | California Black Media

I'm proud of how we fought back against the Trump Administra- tion's attacks, especially on the budget, and strengthened protec- tions for workers while fortify- ing the cultural power of Black Los Angeles. Workers' rights re- mained central in my bill pack- age because my background in organizing taught me a simple truth: when workers do well, com- munities do well. With SB 464, I fought wage discrimination. With SB 648, I strengthened account- ability for wage theft and ensured statewide distribution of worker- rights information by establishing the California Worker Outreach Project in law.

I also moved forward with the creation of California's first Black cultural district in South LA. Amid gentrification, this district will protect cultural assets and bring resources as Los Angeles prepares for the FIFA World Cup and Olympic Games. Establishing a Black cultural district in the face of federal hostility is a victory I'm deeply proud of a model for how tourism can uplift communities.

Q&A with Dr. Shalonda "Sunshine" Crawford

1. What motivated you to enroll in Covered California, and what were you looking for in a plan?

When I transitioned into private practice, I no longer had employer- sponsored insurance, but I still needed a plan that offered the level of quality and choice I was accustomed to. As a professional and entre- preneur, I wanted options that supported my family's health needs and aligned with the standards we expected. Covered California provided access to reputable plans and gave me the flexibility to choose coverage that fit both my lifestyle and my responsibilities, including access to mental health care, which is essential in both my personal life and my work as a psychotherapist.

2. What was your experience comparing plans and choosing cov- erage?

I completed my application online and also spoke with a representative who helped walk me through the different plan options. Comparing plans showed me what benefits mattered most for my family and reas- sured me that Covered California offers high-quality choices, including plans similar to those provided by employers. It was empowering to make a well-informed decision about coverage that truly fits our needs,
