    The streets of East Palo Alto have seen everything from brick factories to poultry farms to gang shootings, but they haven’t before met anything quite like Rev. Bob Hartley, a known and respected longtime EPA resident. He’s a man with a plan to help the youth in the community give up their weapons – in favor of plants.  Read more >

The 15 students in the school’s Garden Elective class helped to wash, chop, mix, and serve seasonal fruits donated by farmers' markets in Palo Alto and East Palo Alto to more than 300 schoolmates.  Read more >

    When you get to college, no one ever asks, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Instead, you're repeatedly crank called by a cynic who says, "When you grow up, and reality sucker punches you; you'll see the world for what it really is."  Read more >

    Call it a rampant case of TB (True Believerism), but I want to believe in someone the way people used to believe in John F. Kennedy. And John Edwards fed my anger -- and urgency to affect change. I take the words of the Dixie Chicks when I say, "I'm still mad as hell, and I don't have time to go 'round and 'round and 'round." Instead of praying to the porcelain god, we need the unwavering faith of a friend who will remind us that "we are better than this."  Read more >
