The Catholic Worker Movement was characterized by framing in the dynamics of social mobilization and non-violent political action, responding, since its foundation in 1933, to a set of social and economic issues on which civil society was interested and began its activity in the United States domestic policy. Despite being a movement that arose in a national context with religious foundations, the CWM reached the development of transnational logics that contributed to the defense of their cause and the claim of values and principles that later moved to the search for resources to strengthen their struggle. Thus, the process of evolution of the movement took direction about phenomena such as diffusion, acquiring repertoires corresponding to non-violence collective action, and the use of exogenous and endogenous factors represented in various forms of political opportunities and organizational capacity.
