The MOSES 2024 Transformation Celebration and Gala will take place on Saturday, Dec. 14, 5:30-9 p.m. at the Brassworks Building of the Goodman Community Center on Madison’s East Side.
MOSES is a non-partisan interfaith organization that works to promote social justice with a focus on ending mass incarceration.
“This year’s honorees are Kingston Robertson, Jessica Jacobs, and Action Jackson. These three justice-impacted individuals who have successfully worked to transform their lives,” MOSES said in a press release announcing the gala. “By lifting up their stories, MOSES hopes to inspire other system-involved people to achieve their future dreams.”
Robertson is the brand owner of Holy Godz clothing gear, a designer with a message for young people. Jessica Jacobs is the new Dane County community organizer for the free movement working to make sure incarcerated women in Wisconsin get treated with dignity and respect. Action Jackson is the owner of a professional landscaping business and the founder of J.Y.C., a workforce development program through which he provides free training for community members in lawn care and landscaping.
The MOSES 2024 Transformation Celebration and Gala will feature heavy hors d’oeuvres and desserts catered by Goodworks Community Catering and TeenWorks. Carmella Glenn, a violence intervention supervisor at the Public Health Madison & Dane County, will serve as the emcee for the program which will include an introduction to MOSES, three videos of the honorees filmed by Dee Star of Star Productions, an awards ceremony, and an opportunity to win raffle prizes.
