My Heroes – Dorothy Day

Dorothy Day (November 8, 1897 – November 29, 1980) co-founded with Peter Maurin the Catholic Worker Movement. This movement combines direct aid to the poor and homeless with nonviolent direct action on their behalf. There are currently several Catholic Worker Houses in major cities across the USA. I had the pleasure of being involved in the one in Milwaukee in 1968-1970.

If you would like to learn more about this movement and what it is doing today you can check them out online at Catholic Worker.
