Join the National Organizing Committee in creating a viable socialist electoral alternative for working class Americans.
Building a Left presence for the 2012 election and beyond.
The National Organizing Committee held a planning conference on the weekend of December 10th and 11th, 2011, in San Francisco attended
by knowledgable activists for independent Left electoral politics. The primary result was the founding of a new formation
to provide an umbrella electoral party in several states similar to the Peace and Freedom Party of California, providing shared rights
and responsibilities for various tendencies on the Left. The gathered delegates voted to adopt the name "Peace and
Freedom Alliance".
Attendees included delegates from the Peace and Freedom Party of California, the Freedom
Socialist Party and the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Official observers from Socialist Alternative (which has since
formally affiliated with the Peace and Freedom Alliance) and unofficial observers from other groups participated fully in the dicussion
on building a united Left alternative for the 2012 elections and beyond. NOC affiliate Socialist Organizer sent regrets at being
unable to attend. We will continue outreach to involve more groups and individuals for social change to help build an electoral
arm of the movement.
It is time to organize for a real change. Contact us to help with ballot access, fundraising,
drafting a platform and planning a national convention.
