  1. Peace and Freedom Party By: Luz Quintana, Jeffrey Russell, Josie Garcia-Martinez, & Sylvia Bellhouse Period 4

  2. The Symbol of the Peace & Freedom Party • The dove represents peace while the broken chains represents freedom.

  3. The Motto • We did not find their motto but did find their song. • First Verse- “Arise, ye prisoners of starvation! Arise, ye wretched of the earth! For justice thunders condemnation, A better world's in birth. No more, tradition's chains shall bind us, Arise ye slaves, no more in thrall. The earth shall rise on new foundations, We have been naught, we shall be all. This the final conflict, Let us stand in our place. The international working class Shall be the human race! 'Tis the final conflict, Let us stand in our place. The international working class Shall be the human race!” • Second Verse- “We want no condescending saviors To rule us from a judgment hall. We workers ask not for their favors, We must consult for all. To make the thief disgorge his booty, To free the spirit from the cell, We must ourselves decide our duty, We must decide and do it well! This the final conflict, Let us stand in our place. The international working class Shall be the human race! This the final conflict, Let us stand in our place. The international working class Shall be the human race!”

Eliminate the Electoral College. Resident non-citizens should have the right to vote, particularly in local and school elections. The Peace and Freedom Party are liberal in the in the Political World, because they do not believe in a strong military.

  7. Their perspective on the role of government in the Economic World Issues and Solutions: • The peace and treaty party want to repeal prop 13 and use tax property for profit, not personal use. They want to remove property taxes on modest owner-occupied homes and put the burden on the wealthy. • They also want to tax unearned income at a higher rate than earned income.
