Dorothy Day

Dorothy Day was an influential American journalist and social activist born in 1897, who co-founded the Catholic Worker Movement in 1933. Known for her radical commitment to social justice and hospitality, Day dedicated her life to serving the poor and marginalized. Her journey of faith, sparked by the birth of her daughter and a subsequent conversion to Catholicism, led her to advocate for nonviolence, community, and the dignity of every person. Day's legacy as a champion for the homeless and her call for hospitality as a revolutionary act continue to inspire social movements today.
