The Peace and Freedom Party (PFP) is a left-wing political party with ballot status in California.[5] Its first candidates appeared on the 1966 New York ballot. The Peace and Freedom Party of California was organized in early 1967, gathering over 103,000 registrants which qualified its ballot status in January 1968 under the California Secretary of State Report of Registration.

The party has appeared in other states as an antiwar and pro-civil rights organization opposed to the Vietnam War and supporting black liberation, farm-worker organizing, women's liberation, and the gay rights movement. Its presidential candidates were Leonard Peltier[6] in 2004, Ralph Nader in 2008,[7][8] Roseanne Barr[9] in 2012 and Gloria La Riva[10] in 2016 and 2020.
