Recently host Ridge Cresswell sat down with poet, scholar and East Palo Alto, CA City Council candidate Antonio Lopez to discuss his roots in the Bay Area, his love of language and poetry, and the ways he is seeking to use his education to address systemic issues in his community. To find out more about or donate to Antonio's campaign, go to AntonioLopezForCityCouncil.com.
