Buying Back the Block: TSAL Fireside Chat with Lyneir Richardson
We know the story of how our neighborhoods were built—and we know the systems that have historically held them back. But we aren't just hereto study the past; we’re here to architect a future where the block belongs tothe people who give it its soul.
Join us for a virtual masterclass featuring Lyneir Richardson, a heavyweight in the game of community-centered development. Whether he’s in the halls of Rutgers Business School or on the ground as CEO of Chicago TREND, Lyneir has spent his career proving that commercial real estate isn't just about buildings—it’s about collective ownership.
The Blueprint for Equity
In this session, we’re digging deep into the strategy. Lyneir will be breaking down the wisdom he laid out in his paper commissioned by TSAL’s The People’s Practice titled,“Six Recommendations for Anti-Racist Community Developers and Supporters.” This isn't your standard wealth building conversation; this is a deep dive into shifting the power. We’ll be discussing:
Tangible Ownership: Moving from leasing to being stakeholders through community-owned commercial real estate.
Structural Shifts: How practitioners can implement anti-racist strategies that go beyond "diversity" and get straight to equity.
Economic Resilience: Pooling and leveraging capital which translates into long-term community improvements.
Join the Session
This virtual learning experience is for the practitioners, the dreamers, and the doers who are ready to move beyond "revitalization" and into real, sustainable ownership. Let’s get together to honor Black History Month whilereimagining what’s possible for our neighborhoods today.
Zoom link will be provided after RSVP.
