This is the archive for the website for the Rural People’s Party, a political and communal group in South Carolina that formed in 2004 and that launched an online presence in 2007. Although it had no affiliation with members of Peoples Temple, it adopted a number of images and audio clips from the group, especially of its leader, Jim Jones. The group notably created the Sharon Amos Brigade, as a means to offer “opportunities for women to improve and apply themselves as individuals as a part of a greater collective consciousness.” The group became inactive around 2010.

In the interest of preserving the information from the Rural People’s Party website for future generations of Jonestown scholars and researchers, the managers of this site downloaded it in its entirety in 2023.
