While on a sabbatical from Le Moyne in 1963, Berrigan traveled to Paris and met French Jesuits who criticized the social and political conditions in [[Indochina]].

On October 28, 1965, Berrigan, along with the Reverend [[Richard John Neuhaus]] and Rabbi [[Abraham Joshua Heschel]], founded an organization known as '''Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Vietnam''' (CALCAV). The organization, founded at the [[Church Center for the United Nations]], was joined by the likes of Doctor [[Hans Morgenthau]], the Reverend [[Reinhold Niebuhr]], the Reverend [[William Sloane Coffin]], and the Reverend [[Philip Berrigan]] his brother, among many others. The Reverend Dr. [[Martin Luther King Jr.]], who delivered his 1967 speech ''[[Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence]]'' under sponsorship from CALCAV, served as the national co-chairman of the organization.

From 1966 to 1970, Berrigan was the assistant director of the [[Cornell University]] United Religious Work (CURW), the umbrella organization for all religious groups on campus, including the Cornell Newman Club (later the [[Cornell Catholic Community]]), eventually becoming the group's pastor.<ref name="CornellChron-Cornell-2006">{{cite web|first1=Daniel|last1=Aloi|url=http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/April06/berrigan.0406.html|title=From Vietnam to Redbud Woods: Daniel Berrigan launches events commemorating five decades of activism at Cornell|date=April 4, 2006|work=[[Cornell Chronicle]]|access-date=December 1, 2007|archive-date=August 16, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070816110212/http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/April06/berrigan.0406.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Berrigan was the first faculty advisor of Cornell University's first gay rights student group, the Student Homophile League, in 1968.<ref name="CUGALA online presentation on LGBT student activism on 6/6/2020">{{cite web|first1=Brenda|last1=Marston|url=https://alumni.cornell.edu/event/cugala-reunion-2020-the-first-american-university/|title=CUGALA Reunion 2020 The First American University|date=June 6, 2020|work=[[Cornell University]]|access-date=June 6, 2020|archive-date=June 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200615021906/https://alumni.cornell.edu/event/cugala-reunion-2020-the-first-american-university/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In retrospect, the trial of the Catonsville Nine was significant, because it "altered resistance to the Vietnam War, moving activists from street protests to repeated acts of civil disobedience, including the burning of draft cards".<ref name=nation40years /> As ''The New York Times'' noted in its obituary, Berrigan's actions helped "shape the tactics of opposition to the Vietnam War."<ref name="NYTimes-Obit-2016" />

Although much of his later work was devoted to assisting AIDS patients in New York City,<ref name="NYTimes-Obit-2016" /> Berrigan still held to his activist roots throughout his life. He maintained his opposition to American interventions abroad, from Central America in the 1980s, through the [[Gulf War]] in 1991, the [[Kosovo War]], the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|US invasion of Afghanistan]], and the [[2003 invasion of Iraq]].
