'''[[Frances Fox Piven]]''' is a prominent U.S. sociologist, writer and socialist activist. Married to the late [[Richard Cloward]], a sociologist and socialist, the two made a formidable team, making waves with their Cloward-Piven Strategy which they delivered at the 1966 [[Socialist Scholars Conference]]. The strategy was designed to so over-burden the state with obligations to welfare recipients that revolutionary crisis and change would become inevitable. Since that time, Fox Piven has been a key speaker at the annual [[Democratic Socialists of America]]-sponsored [[Socialist Scholars Conference]], which is now known as the [[Left Forum]]. Fox Piven has strong ties with the [[Socialist International]]-affiliated [[DSA]], currently serving as an honorary chair for the organization. In the 1980s she was a member of the [[DSA]]'s Feminist Commission. She has affiliations with many other top leftist groups. She was listed as a lecturer for the [[Institute for Policy Studies]] in 1979, was a [[New Party]] builder in 1994, was one of the founders of [[Campaign for America's Future]] in 1996, endorsed the founding of the anti-Iraq War newspaper [[War Times]] in 2002, and as at 2009, serves on the advisory board of [[Minnesota]]-based [[Wellstone Action]]. In August 2004 Fox Piven endorsed an anti “Bush Team” Protest at the Republican National Convention in [[New York]], organized by [[Not In Our Name]], an organization closely associated with [[CODEPINK]], [[United for Peace and Justice]], and the [[Revolutionary Communist Party]]. In Sept. 2010, Fox Piven stated that violence was acceptable if it was ''"a big part of your strategy,"'' and in Dec 2010, she renewed her 1966 call for revolution - this time exemplifying the recent violent student protests in England.
