While Americans face challenges unlike any other time in our history, GPB and StoryCorps invite you to take part in One Small Step, a nationwide initiative to help bridge political divides and strengthen communities, one conversation at a time.

You'll meet someone new - a fellow resident with different views from you, who you might never talk to otherwise - for a simple, personal, 50-minute conversation. With participant permission, these conversations will be preserved for future generations at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
