About this Event

Many identities in Nashville are being left behind. Beyond just income, communities that identify as seniors, LGBTQ+, and/or African American/Black reported feeling this way. More recent data from investigative reporting uncovered that hundreds of homeless Nashvillians are being policed in the Downtown area, which is a blatant demonstration of exclusion.

Amidst a divided political landscape and growing concerns about the wellbeing of our neighbors, our goal as an organization is to focus on bringing the community together so we can shape places for all. While that goal seems daunting, Tennessee’s culture of public service should incite inspiration for actionable change. 

This event will feature a panel that includes representatives from our local government, non-profit partners, and Nashville youth to not only discuss the overarching issue of belonging, but brainstorming planning and design solutions that could bring a beacon of hope into a time of darkness.
