Francis Fox Piven event canceled
March 28th, 2012 admin
Regrettably, Francis Fox Piven had to cancel her trip to Vermont and lecture due to illness. We appreciate your understanding.
In the wake of revolutionary upheaval across Africa and the Middle East, Occupy Wall Street has brought new generations of activists into the grass-roots struggle for social change.
Speaker: Francis Fox Piven
Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Sociology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York is author, most recently, of Challenging Authority: How Ordinary People Change America.
Francis Fox Piven, infamously targeted by a hate campaign led by Fox News host Glenn Beck, will place Occupy in the context of earlier social movements, and consider whether American corporations are vulnerable to the kinds of collective actions that can be mobilized today.
