WTIP and StoryCorps’ One Small Step – A Special Community Conversation

WTIP started outreach for One Small Step in June of 2022. Since then, we’ve had over 80 community members sign up to be a part of this very unique initiative. Created by StoryCorp, One Small Step was designed to serve as an antidote to polarization and political division within communities, large and small.

We’ve been heartened by the reflections of people who have completed their recorded conversations. Many participants shared that they have gotten a lot out of the experience, and that it has even changed the way they think about community and about each other.
In this one hour news special, we hear directly from some of the people who have taken that one small step. We hope it helps to inspire you to think differently about what it means to be a part of community.
