In 2004, within discussion about the lack of diversity in the Fresno 
County (California) Green Party, a member said that he thought the 
immigrant community should be coming to the Greens and not the other 
way around. On the other hand, the Peace and Freedom Party has been 
intimately involved with the immigrant rights movement and is a full 
member of the coalition that put on the large demonstrations of 
April-May 2006 and 2007. In each of the immigrant rights marches and 
demonstrations in this area, members of the Peace and Freedom Party 
spoke. We were the only political party to participate and mention of 
our party brought loud cheers from the participants.
