2016 PFP convention delegates vote on their preferred candidates[3]

The Peace and Freedom Party (PFP) is a socialist political party in the United States which operates mostly in California.[2] 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.[4]

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