Abstract

The Peace and Freedom Party (PFP) was established in 1967 by a group of anti–Vietnam War activists who were frustrated with the Democratic Party’s handling of the war.1 After a brief but high-profile collaboration with the Black Panthers and an attempt at forming a national People’s Party with other left-wing parties, it has become a locus of activism, electoral and otherwise, in the state of California. The PFP has never won any elections other than nonpartisan local races, and due to recent changes in California election law, its visibility has decreased. However, the PFP has had a lasting impact on California’s political system through serving as a hub for activism and actions in court on behalf of other third parties.
