The Daniel Berrigan Collective
Promoting Contemplation, Community & Resistance
The Daniel Berrigan Collective was founded to promote the person, thought, and legacy of activism of Daniel Berrigan, SJ, using a variety of media, including writing, art, music, poetry, celebrations and social media.
The collective comes out of the tradition promoted by Berrigan in which contemplation, reflection, and study flow into and from community, activism, and resistance.
We aim to provide a space for dialogue between the writings of Daniel Berrigan and contemporary communities of resistance that share his concerns and expand them, centering the experiences and concerns of women, people of color, younger people, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, the incarcerated, and those who have difficulty finding a voice in academic, religious, and social institutions.
Join our community.
"One is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the U.S. around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better."
