About This Site
This website, prohibitionists.org, is an educational tool maintained by the Partisan Prohibition Historical Society. The Partisan Prohibition Historical Society (PPHS) was founded in 1971 by friends of the Prohibition Party. The PPHS is independent of, but acts as a repository of historical information about, the political organization called the Prohibition Party and the greater temperance movement. Please see the PPHS page for more information on the society's founding.
For 'official' information about the Prohibition Party, please consult the Prohibition National Committee (www.prohibitionparty.org). All expenses of this website are covered by donations to the Partisan Prohibition Historical Society. A detailed financial report can be sent to anyone, on request.
In addition to financial support by members of the Society, contributions have been received from these organizations:
- James Hervey Johnson Charitable Educational Trust
- Atlantic Seaboard Council, Int. Org. of Good Templars
- Pennsylvania Prohibition Committee
- Prohibition Trust Fund (see notes below about the name of this trust)
This website presents information collected from a variety of sources; the PPHS welcomes constructive suggestions for additions and improvements.

Prohibition Party Organization
The Prohibition Party includes: The Prohibition National Committee, The Partisan Prohibition Historical Society, the Action! Prohibitionists caucus, and state and local affiliates.
The PPHS is described above and on the Chapters Page.
The PNC is described on the Background Page. Financial data on the PNC can also be obtained by writing: Prohibition National Committee, 4602 21st St #1852 Long Island City, NY 11101.
The Action! Prohibitionists caucus is an informal grouping of individuals who energetically seek to promote the candidates and platform of the Prohibition Party. There are no dues, no rules, and no elections. You become an Action! Prohibitionist by being an Action! Prohibitionist.
For information about state and local Prohibition Party organizations, please refer to the Chapters Page of this website.
Be a Candidate? Why Not!
The Action! Prohibitionists caucus will assist any sincere individual who generally supports the Prohibition Party platform and who would be comfortable identifying himself to the voters as a Prohibitionist. Elections this year will fill many offices in your own community. Small political parties rarely elect presidents, but they do elect local officials. The door is open, and opportunity beckons. For the sake of America, get involved!
