The NAACP and other organizations are seeking to have the San Bernardino City Council reaffirm its 2020 resolution declaring racism a public health crisis after a speaker was interrupted by racist epithets during a city council meeting. The NAACP is demanding that the city leadership do what is necessary to combat racism in the city and to hold the people in power accountable. The city council voted to appoint Charles Montoya as the new city manager, despite objections from public members and the NAACP. The city is working with the San Bernardino Police Department to identify and investigate those involved for violation of Penal Code 403.

Over those years she sought public records, was critical of county-paid benefits for state judges, expressed concern over the perceived creative financing for court construction and played a key role in the California Fair Political Practices Commission’s formal warning to former San Bernardino County Sheriff Gary Penrod for violating the Political Reform Act for failing to disclose ownership of several properties over many years. Fry then served eight years as a reporter for The Alpenhorn News, a biweekly newspaper covering the San Bernardino Mountain communities. Fry remains committed in her quest to hold government officials accountable to the people they represent through her articles in Moffatt Media, The IE Voice, Black Voice News and The San Bernardino American News, as well as her work with various law firms on issues she believes will shine a light on government corruption.
