The St. Louis Catholic Worker hopes to build a world where it is easier to be good, a world where each has according to their needs and gives according to their abilities, a world where interactions between peoples and communities is direct and personal and is governed by Love and concern for the common good rather than harmful institutions such as extractive capitalism or a militarized, carceral state.
To this end we advocate:
-Clarification of thought: to know where we are, how we got here, and where it is we should be going
Mutual Aid: to share from our excess and receive in our need through direct and reciprocal interaction with our human family
Resistance: to oppose oppression wherever it is found
The revolution we propose would be non-violent, decentralized, sustainable, soil based, abolitionist, personalist, communitarian, spirit led, and immediate. We hope that all people of goodwill might join this effort in their own place and context so that we might together help to build a new society in the shell of the old.
