It’s August 14, 2025 and we are back with the latest edition of East Bay Times reader letters to the editor. Our readers have once again shared their valuable insights and opinions on various issues that are making headlines. From calls to end a contract to resisting the Trump administration, from hiking taxes to looking abroad, and from sharing their views on sham photos to expressing their concerns over current affairs, our readers have not shied away from voicing their thoughts. Let’s take a look at what our readers have to say.
One of our readers, Sarah, wrote in to express her disappointment with a certain company and called for an end to their contract. She shared her experience of being continuously let down by their services and products. Sarah’s letter struck a chord with many other readers who have had similar experiences. It’s heartening to see our readers taking a stand and demanding accountability from companies. We hope this letter serves as a wake-up call for companies to prioritize the satisfaction of their customers.
Another topic that has been on the minds of our readers is the current administration and the need to resist Trump’s policies. George, a concerned citizen, wrote in to urge his fellow Americans to stand up against the actions of the Trump administration that are detrimental to the country. He highlighted the importance of staying vigilant and using our voices to bring about positive change. We are proud to have such passionate readers who are actively involved in shaping our nation’s future.
Taxes are always a hot topic and our readers have not shied away from sharing their opinions on the matter. Many have expressed their support for hiking taxes, especially for the wealthy, as a means to address income inequality and fund important social programs. On the other hand, some readers have also raised concerns about the burden of increased taxes on the middle class. It’s encouraging to see our readers engaging in a healthy debate and having a constructive dialogue on such an important issue.
In today’s globalized world, it’s crucial to have a broad perspective and look beyond our borders. Our reader, James, reminded us of this in his letter where he emphasized the need to look abroad for inspiration and ideas. He pointed out that in this interconnected world, we can learn a lot from other countries and their cultures. We couldn’t agree more with James and hope his letter inspires others to expand their horizons and embrace diversity.
Another reader, Emily, shared her concerns over the use of sham photos in the media, especially in the age of social media. She highlighted the harmful effects of manipulated images and the need for responsible journalism. Emily’s letter serves as a reminder to all of us to be mindful of what we consume and share online. Let’s use our platforms responsibly and promote authenticity in the media.

It’s heartening to see our community engaging in important discussions and taking action on issues that matter. We hope that this edition of reader letters inspires others to voice their thoughts and make a positive impact in their communities.
