One Small Step Experience Event
About this Event
Join us for the KPBS One Small Step Experience Event!
KPBS presents One Small Step in partnership with StoryCorps. This initiative brings people with different backgrounds and beliefs together for a conversation - not about politics - but to get to know each other as people.
The KPBS One Small Step Experience event will feature a respectful conversation between our special guests from San Diego’s civil liberties and judicial community followed by facilitated audience table conversations where you can discuss and share your own viewpoints.

Public Matters is an initiative of KPBS, inewsource and Voice of San Diego.
These three independent, non-profit journalism organizations are sharing content, conversation, and events that ensure all San Diegans understand their opportunity to participate in the democratic process and that it means more than voting in an election.
The KPBS One Small Step program is a part of the Public Matters initiative.
Public Matters is generously funded by Irwin and Joan Jacobs.
