The '''Peace and Freedom Party''' ('''PFP''') is a [[Socialism|socialist]] [[Political parties in the United States|political party in the United States]] which operates mostly in [[California]].<ref name="LATimes"/> It was formed in 1966 from anti-[[Vietnam War]] and pro-civil rights movements.

PFP operates both as an organization unto itself and an umbrella organization in which socialist organizations compete to win PFP's [[ballot access]].<ref name=Peters1997 />

Notable past and present members include [[Bob Avakian]], [[Emmy Lou Packard]], [[Byron Randall]], and (briefly) [[Murray Rothbard]].

=== Preference primaries ===
Like many minor parties, PFP holds a non-binding "preference primary" for President.

Since January 2001, California has had a "modified" closed primary system in which political parties can determine whether or not to allow voters who are [[Independent politician|not affiliated with any party]], or No Party Preference, are allowed to participate in the party's primary. Since the [[2004 Democratic Party presidential primaries|2004 primaries]], PFP has never allowed "independent" voters to vote in their party's primaries.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/political-parties/no-party-preference/history-political-parties-have-adopted-party-rules-regarding-no-party-preference-voters |title=History of Political Parties That Have Adopted Party Rules Regarding No Party Preference Voters |publisher=[[California Secretary of State]] |access-date=2024-03-31}}</ref>

== History ==

=== Founding ===
After the [[1967 Century City anti-Vietnam War march]] on June 23, 1967, anti-war and civil rights supporters began collecting petitions for the Peace and Freedom Party. PFP's founders opposed the Democratic Party's support for the war in Vietnam and saw the Democrats as failing to effectively support the civil rights movement.<ref name=Elden1971>{{cite journal|last1=Elden |first1=James |last2=Schweitzer |first2=David |title=New Third Party Radicalism: The Case of the California Peace and Freedom Party |journal=[[Political Research Quarterly|The Western Political Quarterly]] |publisher=Western Political Science Association |date=1971 |volume=24 |issue=4 |pages=761–74 |doi=10.2307/447112 |jstor=447112 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/447112|url-access=subscription }}</ref>{{rp|761}}<ref name=Phillips2020>{{cite book |last1=Phillips |first1=Joseph |chapter=The Peace and Freedom Party of California |title=Beyond Donkeys and Elephants: Minor Political Parties in Contemporary American Politics |publisher=[[University Press of Kansas]] |date=2020 |doi=10.2307/j.ctv15tt76n |url=https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv15tt76n |isbn=978-0-7006-2929-9 |pages=121–137}}</ref>{{rp|121}}<ref>{{cite news |title=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/65011394/10000-in-melee/}}</ref>

On January 2, 1968, PFP organizers submitted 105,100 signatures to receive party status in California.<ref name=Elden1971 />{{rp|761}} PFP has had ballot access in California since 1968, except between 1998 and 2002.<ref name=Phillips2020 />{{rp|128}} In 2003, PFP became the first party in the history of California to regain its ballot status.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Fletcher |first1=Ed |title=Anti-War Party is Back on the Ballot |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/65013916/antiwar-party-is-back-on-ballot/ |work=The Sacramento Bee |date=March 15, 2003}}</ref>

In 1968, PFP suffered a minor split: [[Dick Gregory]] and others split to create the Freedom and Peace Party (FPP), for which Gregory ran in the [[1968 United States presidential election]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Thompson|first=Hunter S.|author-link=Hunter S.

In 1971, progressives nationwide organized the [[People's Party (United States, 1971)|People's Party]]. In 1972 and 1976, PFP endorsed the PP's candidates. After the PP dissolved in 1977, PFP continued in California.<ref name=Peters1997>{{cite journal |title=Peace and Freedom Party from 1967 to 1997 |first1=Casey |last1=Peters |journal=Synthesis/Regeneration |number=12 |date=Winter 1997 |url=http://www.greens.org/s-r/12/12-05.html |archive-date=2018-06-02 |access-date=2006-03-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180602083939/http://www.greens.org/s-r/12/12-05.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2016, both PFP's California state chair and [[Green Party of the United States|Green]] candidate [[Jill Stein]] requested that the California Secretary of State allow Stein to be placed on the PFP party ballot, but this was rejected.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://peaceandfreedom.org/home/images/documents/position-letters-legislation-2019/SB_505_Peace_and_Freedom_Party_Letter_of_Opposition_2.pdf |title=SB 505 (Umberg) Presidential primary elections Oppose |publisher=Peace and Freedom Party}}</ref> Instead, PFP nominated [[Party for Socialism and Liberation]] candidate [[Gloria La Riva]].<ref name=PFP16Potus />

In 2012, [[Rocky Anderson]] won a plurality of delegates in PFP's non-binding preference primary, after failing to win enough votes to place his [[Justice Party (United States)|Justice Party]] on the ballot. However, Anderson failed to win representatives on the PFP's Central Committee, and withdrew 1 week before the convention.<ref name=Richardson2012 /> Instead, PFP backed [[Party for Socialism and Liberation]]'s preferred candidate [[Roseanne Barr]].<ref name=Cornish2013 />

In 2008, PFP endorsed Independent [[Ralph Nader]] in his [[Ralph Nader 2008 presidential campaign|presidential campaign]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Nov. 2008 Statement of Vote: U.S. President by County |publisher=California Secretary of State |url=http://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2008-general/17_22_pres_by_county.pdf}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=P&F Campaign 2008: Nader/Gonzalez ticket |publisher=Peace and Freedom Party |url=http://www.peaceandfreedom2008.org/candidates/rnader/}}</ref> Nader obtained enough signatures to appear on the ballot in Iowa and Utah as the Peace and Freedom Party candidate.

In 2000, PFP did not qualify for the ballot in California.<ref name=PFPPresidentialHistorical />

In 1988, three factions within PFP — the [[Internationalist Workers Party (Fourth International)|Internationalist Workers Party]], [[New Alliance Party]], and [[Socialist Party USA]] plus [[Communist Party USA]] — sought the party's ballot line. They could not agree, and split the convention, which resulted in the Secretary of State voiding the PFP ballot line for the year.<ref name=Phillips2020 />{{rp|126–128}}<ref name=PFPPresidentialHistorical>{{cite web |title=PFP Presidential and VP Candidates, 1968-2020 |date=July 3, 2008 |publisher=Peace and Freedom Party |url=https://www.peaceandfreedomparty.org/home/about-us/historical-information/presidential-candidates}}</ref><ref name=Stein1988 />
