The Cloward Piven Strategy is a political strategy developed in 1966 by two Columbia University sociologists, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. The strategy seeks to overwhelm public welfare systems in order to force them to expand beyond their current capacity. As the programs become overburdened, pressure builds on the government to provide for the people; ultimately leading to sweeping policy changes.
At its core, the Cloward-Piven Strategy rests on the notion that by dramatically increasing the number of people receiving government assistance, the public welfare system will be stretched beyond its capacity, thus leading to an economic crisis that demands national reform. This theory highlights both the injustice of poverty and the need for governments to listen to those in need, rather than just acting as a mechanism to support the current power structure.
In the decades since its inception, the strategy has been used by progressive activists as an effective tool to create social change. It has been used in a variety of contexts to fight for workers’ rights, environmental justice, healthcare reform, and immigration reform. In recent years, the Cloward-Piven Strategy has made a resurgence as organizations, movements, and individuals of all backgrounds seek to amplify their voices and call for overdue reform in the face of poverty and inequality.
