The
Peace and Freedom Party (
PFP) is a nationally organized left-wing
political party, with affiliates in more than a dozen American
states, including
California,
Florida,
Colorado, and
Hawaii. Its first candidates appeared on the ballot in 1966; but the Peace and Freedom Party of California was founded on June 23, 1967, after the riot in the wealthy
Century City section of
Los Angeles, and qualified for the ballot in January 1968.
