“We need to (nonviolently) overthrow this rotten, decadent, putrid, industrial capitalist system, not perpetuate it with our votes” – Dorothy Day, Catholic Worker movement co-founder. 

"The most sublime inspirations are nothing without works" - St. Therese of Lisieux.

"This is the nation that does not listen to the voice of the Lord, its God, or take correction. Faithfulness has disappeared; the word itself is banished from their speech" (Jeremiah 7:28).

"When we take any part in government by voting for legislative, judicial, and executive officials we make these people our arm by which we cast a stone (John 8:7b) and 
deny the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5)" -- Ammon Hennacy (Longtime Catholic Worker movement member).

"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must NEVER be a time when we fail to protest" -- Elie Wiesel, Nobel Laureate and witness.
