David Rand is Founding President & CEO of Land Liberty Movement and creator of Build the Dream, a media platform building a movement around housing supply reform. With over 15 years in campaigns and public policy, David has learned that lasting change starts with policy papers and ends with people who believe the fight can be won—taking on the planning establishment Build the Dream translates the case for housing reform into messages that resonate: the American Dream isn't dead, it's blocked by restrictive zoning and regulatory barriers that keep people from building homes, starting strong families, and building real wealth. Through long-form video essays, short-form content, and podcast platforms, Build the Dream reaches audiences where they are, making the moral and practical case for reform that moves people from awareness to action.
