Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III serves as senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. For two decades, he has preached a Black theology that calls attention to the problems of mass incarceration, environmental justice, and economic inequality.

Dr. Moss led the team that came up with the “My Life Matters” curriculum, including the viral video “Get Home Safely: 10 Rules of Survival,” created in the aftermath of Michael Brown’s death at the hands of police. Dr. Moss was named to the inaugural Root 100, as an African-American leader who is making extraordinary contributions.

He spoke as part of the May 2021 Westminster Town Hall Forum series: “The Arc Toward Justice: Taking Stock One Year After George Floyd’s Death.”
