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, when it began its registration drive at the anti-war demonstration against Lyndon Johnson's appearance at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, and qualified for the ballot in January 1968.
