Hey readers, I’ve had two conversations this week with two national journalists asking me to put them in touch with folks for two different stories:

1. Are you a member of a family that is split harshly over politics? The Trump-Clinton election, I mean. If so, what is that like? How have you and your family handled it?

2. Were you raised in an authoritarian religion or religious environment, and because of that, you lost your faith, or changed to a different church or form of that religion?

I’m asking this on behalf of two different reporters for two different national news organizations. If you fit either description and are willing to talk about it on the record with a reporter, please indicate so in your comment on this thread — and make sure to leave an e-mail address I will send to the reporter. You are under no obligation to participate if the reporter contacts you.
