| | | We, The Voters — The Left. The Right. The Disillusioned is a special series from NPR exploring the issues most important to you when choosing your next leader. Join NPR next week as we dive into how gun violence affects different communities. |
|
What do you want from your government? It’s a question that speaks to the core of our country. In a presidential election year, it comes up a lot. |
|
For the next three months we’ll dig into the matters you’ve signaled are most important to you when choosing a leader with outsized power to shape the issues and the results. Consistently top of mind for NPR listeners and readers are the often complicated questions related to gun violence, the economy, immigration, reproductive rights, healthcare, and U.S. foreign policy. NPR’s special sauce is our ability to deliver local, national and international perspectives in partnership with member stations in cities and towns, large and small and across the political spectrum. We work hard to fairly present differing viewpoints that provide a complete picture. Our hope? That our rigorous and respectful reporting spurs meaningful conversations within our broadcast programs, on our site and podcasts and at dinner tables across the land that help you decide what’s right for you, your family and your community. Starting Monday, NPR is going to dive deep on gun violence and its impact on communities. We hope you will check out the reporting and join the conversation. |
