Catholic Workers Movement

The Catholic Worker Movement, founded in 1933 by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin, advocates for social justice, pacifism, and aid to the poor through a Catholic Christian perspective. It promotes voluntary poverty, hospitality, and community without reliance on government or corporate aid. The movement operates hospitality houses, publishes newspapers, and encourages active participation in addressing issues like homelessness, inequality, and war. Emphasizing unconditional love and social activism, it seeks to align faith with practical efforts to create a more just and compassionate society.
