MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments) is a long-term program to monitor radio brightness and polarization variations in jets associated with active galaxies in the northern sky. It started in 1994 as the 2 cm VLBA survey, introduced polarization measurements in 2002, and is currently approved to continue until 2027. We monitor more than 60 jets to learn how relativistic flows accelerate, collimate, and evolve within a hundred of parsecs of the central engine. Regular imaging of a complete flux density-limited sample of about 150 active galactic nuclei will allow us to address highly energetic phenomena in the electromagnetic and neutrino domains. By continuing our policy of timely release of fully calibrated data and images, MOJAVE will serve as an invaluable resource for the community during the multi-messenger astronomy era.
