Join Our Justice Work

MOSES holds general meetings monthly. There are many small work groups.

We invite you to attend a monthly meeting and contact one or more small work groups to learn more.

Monthly Meetings

A good way to learn more about us is to attend our monthly general meetings. These are held in person (preferred) with a virtual option. Meetings include informational presentations and opportunities to talk with other members.

Meetings are generally on the 2nd Sunday of the month (3rd in May) from 2:30-4:30, with a social time 2-2:30.

In-person meetings are held at the UW South Madison Partnership on 2238 South Park Street.

Monthly agendas and the Zoom link can be found via the Calendar
