Message from the President

Jan 17, 2026 | MOSES leadership, Yearbook

 

Dear MOSES Family,

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your hard work, unwavering support, deep dedication, and steadfast determination. Because of your commitment, we continue to build collective power and move closer to dismantling the unjust systems that harm our communities.

As we reflect on this past year, my heart is filled with gratitude, hope, and renewed determination. The journey toward justice is never easy, yet each one of you — members, volunteers, partners, and supporters — has shown what is possible when ordinary people unite with extraordinary purpose.

In 2025, MOSES continued to build collective power to dismantle the systems of mass incarceration and mass supervision and to eradicate the racial disparities in our community that contribute to them. These systems have harmed our communities for far too long. We lifted our voices at the Capitol. We met with leaders and decision-makers. We listened to the voices in our congregations, our neighborhoods, our workplaces, and our homes. And just as importantly, we cared for one another — offering strength when the road was hard and celebrating every victory, large or small.

This yearbook is more than a collection of photos and events. It is a testament to who we are: an organization rooted in faith, collaboration, courage, and deep love for our community. It reminds us that justice is not a moment — it is a commitment. It is the steady work of people who believe in equity, dignity, and the boundless potential of every human being.

Looking ahead, we will continue to challenge systems that do not serve us. We will continue to uplift voices that have been ignored. And we will continue to embody the values that guide us: strength, equity, and solidarity.

Thank you for standing with MOSES. Thank you for showing up. Thank you for believing that change is possible — and for working every day to make it real. Together, we will keep pushing forward until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

With gratitude and determination,

Saundra Brown, President
