For nearly 250 years, Americans have chased an idea bigger than any one generation: the freedom to pursue happiness.
The Founder’s believed happiness wasn’t something government could give – it was something free people pursue through opportunity, responsibility, and hard work.
Today, we’re inviting Americans across the country to share their American Dream story – and what the pursuit of happiness means to them in 2026.
The American Dream is lived everyday by ordinary people.
It’s found in:
- Building a career or small business
- Raising a family
- Serving your community
- Overcoming obstacles
- Creating a better future than the one you were handed
Your story shows that freedom still works – and that opportunity grows when people are free to pursue it.
On camera, tell us:
What does the American Dream mean to you – and what does the pursuit of happiness look like in your today?
