The Peace and Freedom Party

Fiona Sayers :)

Why was it founded?

Political success

The Peace and Freedom party was founded on the basis of living in a world of equality and harmony. People felt repressed when the country was going to war with Vietnam, like their equality was being abused.

The PFP has a history of fighting against political corruption. Has organized two statewide initiative campaigns. One in 1968 to lower the voting age to 18, and another in 1972 to repeal a a capital gains tax loophole. The party has had hundreds of candidates run for public offices, however only a few have been elected. Many of the candidates have been women, including Elizabeth Cervantes Barron, who won the most votes for a PFP candidate.(300,000 or 4.6% in 1978 for State Controller). In 1998, PFP narrowly missed obtaining more than a 2% vote in a statewide election for governor.
