The Saint John Coltrane Global Spiritual Community is the longest-standing black-owned cultural institution for the artform Jazz in operation. For over half a century we have been devoted to meeting the needs of the people through advocating for social and environmental justice, access to housing, reducing homelessness, and criminal justice reform. In addition, we are an institution that connects stakeholders within the community. We appreciate the support of institutions such as the Pablo Ramirez Foundation in this work.
