About the Event

This special event will include a series of conversations and stories that highlight the problems and offer solutions designed to catalyze action and inspire collective investment in home and land preservation.

At the heart of the event is an multi-sensory storytelling installation created in partnership with BLK GRVTY's Preservation Table and The Practice of Democracy. This immersive experience invites guests to explore how home and land have shaped—and been shaped by—the evolving American promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Why We're Gathering

Across the country, families are losing the very assets that anchor them—home and land. The Pursuit of Home is a call to protect what matters most: legacy, belonging, and intergenerational wealth.

What to Expect

Join us for an immersive exhibit and powerful conversations with artists, organizers, policymakers, and investors working to transform preservation into a strategy for economic mobility and community power.

Join the Movement

This is more than an event—it’s the beginning of a national campaign to reimagine property ownership as a civic right. Come see what’s possible when we pursue home together.

We believe preservation is not just about protecting the past—it’s a strategy for community power, wealth and wellbeing.
