We bring artists together to co-create artistic and actionable solutions to the world's greatest challenges.

Giant Steps envisions a world in which music has reclaimed its essential purpose in building community and solidarity for a just and equitable world.

Giants Steps is a social justice organization whose chosen methodology is music. Our approach centers on providing musicians with platforms to connect, create, and transform their communities. We are rooted in equity, and envision a world in which music moves humanity toward connection and equity.
