90 yrs ago on May 1 1933, at a Communist rally in Union Square, Dorothy Day and a small group of friends distributed the first issue of The Catholic Worker newspaper. As the first editorial announced:

“For those who think that there is no hope for the future, no recognition of their plight, this little paper is addressed.” In proclaiming the radical social message of the gospel, the paper became the foundation of a movement that continues to this day.
