SOURCES OF INSPIRATION

We understand ourselves as the latest participants in a rich tradition of American Christian radicals.We also find inspiration from great souls around the world and across traditions. Here's just a few of our "saints."

DOROTHY DAY

Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980) was an American journalist, social activist and devout Catholic convert; she advocated the Catholic economic theory of Distributism. She was also considered to be an anarchist,[2][3][4] and did not hesitate to use the term.[5] In the 1930s, Day worked closely with fellow activist Peter Maurin to establish the Catholic Worker movement, a nonviolent, pacifist movement that continues to combine direct aid for the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf.
