Roy Bourgeois is an internationally known activist for justice. After serving in Vietnam, Bourgeois joined Maryknoll Missionaries, was ordained to the priesthood, and served among the poor in South & Central America. His experiences with "death squads" there impelled him to oppose the US training of armies in counter-insurgency at the School of the Americas (SOA) at Fort Benning in Georgia. Hundreds of thousands have demonstrated to close the SOA. In 2008 he decided he must also address an injustice closer to home – that of the exclusion of women from the Roman Catholic priesthood. His refusal to recant and deny the dictates of his conscience eventually led to his canonical dismissal as a priest. 
Bourgeois is a frequent national speaker for Call To Action, the national organization of progressive Catholics working for justice, inclusion and accountability in the church and society.
