Our organization is committed to working today and every day to uproot systemic racism; to increase opportunity, access, knowledge, and resources for youth to follow their dreams and use their diverse perspectives and voices to change the world for the better. Through open dialogue and empathy, through anti-racist action and drive towards equity, and through the enduring power of music, together, we will chart a new vision and reality for a more just America.
