Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (WPSR) is a health professional-led advocacy organization working to create a healthy, just, peaceful, and sustainable world through advocacy and action. For over 40 years, we have taken on the gravest threats to human health and survival: nuclear weapons, economic inequity, and the climate crisis. Our health professional voices educate the public, influence decision-makers, and promote policies that support our mission.

WPSR is Washington’s leading health voice on the impacts of a warming climate
and dependence on fossil fuels. Our advocacy is led by healthcare professionals
who understand the real-world impacts of a climate in crisis, and the fact that
when it comes to climate-related health issues, prevention is the only cure.

WPSR advocates for a just economy, safe and stable housing, and health equity for all.
More equal societies have lower mortality, longer lives, and more well-being.
And data consistently show that economic inequality drives poor health.

Washington State is ground zero for a nuclear catastrophe.
Just 20 miles from Seattle is the largest concentration of deployed nuclear weapons in the U.S.
If Washington were a country, it would have the third-largest nuclear stockpile in the world.
Prevention is the only cure, and we need your help to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons.
