Americans are divided, but we remain connected. That’s the premise of a reporting project from CPR and NPR this fall, Seeking Common Ground. CPR editor Stephanie Rivera organized conversations with three different communities across the state. She joins us along with CPR's Arlo Pérez Esquivel. Special thanks to CPR's Lauren Antonoff Hart for producing these conversations.

We’ll hear more of these community conversations in the coming weeks with the Seeking Common Ground project.
