Herb says in this thread:
speaking of putting our heads into the solution has anyone out there heard of Dorothy Day or read anything by or about her? She formed the Catholic Worker’s Movement in the 1930’s and was a huge cornerstone of social justice in the last century. She is said to have been a huge inspiration for Caesar Chavez. There has been a movement to make her a saint,whatever that’s called, but it won’t ever happen because she had a baby out of wedlock. She had a lot of communist and socialist friends before she became a Catholic but she ultimately rejected those philosophies because they lacked heart and faith (which is why she believed that they failed). Anyway she had her heart into solutions, not blame. I’m just looking for a way to get her name out there.
Has anyone ever heard of her? I highly recommend checking her out. Very inspiring. There are websites.
Including many listed in this google search
