Lawrence Moses is a activist and humanitarian who advocates for the welfare of all sentient life and the health and sustainability of Earth's environment. Lawrence is the founder of The Superus (sue-PEHR-us) Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that champions universal access to clean water, food, shelter, and medical care, as well as combating climate change and ending factory farming.
Early Life
Lawrence was born on March 27, 1977, in North America. He developed an early interest in social services while working at the Urban League of Rhode Island and volunteering at local homeless shelters in Providence, RI. He later entered the non-profit sector after establishing a Rhode Island non-profit organization that served children with disabilities through therapeutic horseback riding.
In 2013, Lawrence moved to Southern California, where he became aware of the 21st century’s most pressing issues, including economic inequality, animal rights, climate change, and environmental sustainability. These issues would later inspire the fundamental concepts of SUPERUS and shape its mission.
SUPERUS (sue-pehr-us)
SUPERUS is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that was founded in 2020. Its mission is to secure humanity’s basic survival needs: clean water, food, shelter, and medical care. Superus also addresses climate change and advocates for the end of factory farming, which results in the deaths of over 70 billion animals annually while also being one of the planet's most significant sources of global pollution.
Two Major Initiatives
In 2024, SUPERUS (sue~pehr~us) launched two key initiatives to fulfill its mission statement: ending the homeless crisis in California and eradicating hunger in Los Angeles.
ENDING CALIFORNIA’S HOMELESS CRISIS
To address California’s homeless crisis, SUPERUS is petitioning Governor Newsom to grant a coalition of California non-profits the authority to build and govern a sustainable, eco-friendly city of tiny and adobe homes in California City. This initiative will provide refuge, recovery, and community for 120,000 homeless, offering a real solution to end California’s housing crisis while also reducing the impact of encampments on business owners and neighborhoods.

ERADICATING HUNGER IN LOS ANGELES
To eradicate hunger in Los Angeles, SUPERUS is launching the world’s first non-profit autonomous food factory using cell-based technology. The facility will feed 5 million people annually, including seniors on fixed incomes, low-income families, college students, the unemployed, and homeless shelters.

By mass-producing beef, pork, poultry, and fish without harming any animals, this technology uses 99% less space than factory farming and eliminates toxic emissions. All products are free from antibiotics, hormones, GMOs, microplastics, and mercury.

Personal Life
Lawrence is committed to maintaining his well-being and happiness through holistic and spiritual practices such as yoga, meditation, exercise, diet, and world travel. As a self-proclaimed eternal student, Lawrence’s philosophies and beliefs are shaped by his passion for pursuing endless growth as a spiritual being experiencing life in a physical existence.
Philosophy & Beliefs
Lawrence seeks daily guidance and inspiration from a collection of thirty-three principles known as the Superus 33, drawn from the wisdom of some of humanity’s most inspirational teachers, mystics, philosophers, scientists, activists, peacemakers, and visionaries. Rooted in universal truths, the 33 offer a path to help guide our choices, shape our ethics, and ground our moral reasoning.
Lawrence authored the book The 33, which offers readers comprehensive insights into the origins, purposes, applications, and modern relevance of these guiding principles. In 2021, Lawrence discovered The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz, a book he has described as life-altering in its simplicity and insight into human behavior. Its ability to convey profound ideas through four practical principles inspired Lawrence to turn the 33 principles he had spent years refining into a book of his own.
One-third of the proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to the Superus Foundation. Another third is donated to non-profits worldwide whose missions focus on securing one or more of humanity’s four basic survival needs. The final third covers the costs of publishing and distributing this book, translating it into an increasing number of languages, and ensuring it is free of charge to those unable to afford it.
