Dorothy Day is someone most people don't know about. She's neither a saint (yet) nor a Nobel Peace Prize winner. She was a feminist before that was a common term, she was a tireless advocate for the poor, and she was a radical socialist.
Dorothy Day was a flawed human being who used her life to provide comfort, food and shelter to those who walked the line between proper society and the edge. She used her writing skills her whole life to communicate her thoughts.
Dorothy Day was the founder of the Catholic Worker Movement in the United States. There is a Catholic Worker here in Des Moines. People who live at the "Worker" are known as "workers." And that's what they do. They carry on Dorothy Day's vision of living in peace, promoting social justice and providing hospitality to those who are in need. This is a stunningly simple concept, yet most of these goals are elusive in our very complex society.
Tracy Robson from the Catholic Worker House in Des Moines is my guest today on Public Relations Princess. Listen in from 4-5 on macsworldlive.com and find out what you can do to help Des Moines' most vulnerable population.
Nice job today Miss Claire. Keep up the good work.
