Three reporters find different roads to those seeking common ground.

If you haven’t already read one or more of the stories from our Respect Project, you’ll find now a great time to dig into the series. For the project, we asked three writers for stories that challenge the narrative of deep and divisive polarization. It’s a collection of interviews, profiles, and features, touching on the full range of issues in politics, education, race, and religion. Among the stories:

• Two veterans of a war-of-words on Twitter find a way to engage in respectful sparring. 
• A pair of attorneys who passionately lobby for policies at opposite ends
