Help Our Cause

Every day, our communities are shaken by the devastating impact of gun violence – many involving youth. At Drop The Guns, Pick Up An Instrument, we believe in the transformative power of music to heal, unite, and inspire change. Our mission is simple but urgent: to promote peace and end gun violence through the universal language of music.

Why Music?
Music brings people together. It gives voice to our hopes, our pain, and our dreams for a safer world. Through concerts, workshops, and youth programs, we provide safe spaces for expression and healing—empowering young people to choose creativity over conflict.

Your Support Makes a Difference
With your help, we can:

• Host free community concerts that spread messages of hope and nonviolence
• Provide free and discounted music instruments
• Provide music education and instruments to at-risk youth
• Offer trauma-informed workshops for survivors and families
• Amplify the voices of those affected by gun violence through songwriting and performance
