One Small Step is an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us—even those we disagree with politically.

Since 2018, more than 1,500 Americans in 40 cities have taken part. Now, we’re expanding our effort: anyone anywhere can record.

Conversations recorded for One Small Step are not about politics, but rather about who we are as people: what we care about, and our dreams for the future. And just as with every StoryCorps conversation we’ve recorded since 2003, the interview becomes part of American history at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress (with participant permission).

By bringing together strangers across political divides to have courageous and meaningful conversations about their lives, One Small Step helps to decrease feelings of contempt, allowing people in America to see one another as human beings.
