Americans facing rising costs are being asked to describe how stubborn inflation is affecting their household budgets and everyday decisions during the election season.
The appeal focuses on the price of petrol, diesel and imported goods, with many people closely monitoring their spending as expenses increase.
NPR is inviting members of the public to share which costs have risen for them and how they are coping with the pressure. The responses may be used by an NPR or member-station reporter in a forthcoming story.
People taking part are warned that their submissions will be governed by general terms of use and a privacy policy. The policy notes that legal exemptions for journalistic activity or freedom of expression may, in some circumstances, override privacy rights.
