Mobilizing health professionals on issues that represent the gravest dangers to human health.
About us
Guided by the values and expertise of medicine and public health, Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) works to protect human life from the gravest threats to health and survival: nuclear war and proliferation, climate change, and the toxic degradation of the environment. PSR’s advocates contribute a health voice to energy, environmental, and nuclear weapons policy deliberations at the local, state, and federal level. Our 36,000 health professionals and concerned citizen members and activists, 24 chapters — along with national and chapter staff — form a unique nationwide network committed to a safer and healthy world. PSR is a Partner Organization of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), recipient of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize, and is the US affiliate of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985.

Nearly every time methane leaks from an oil & gas facility, so do hazardous air pollutants. The #MethaneRiskMap from @PSEHealthyEnergy models the health risk of these emissions on surrounding communities. TLDR;📍 126,600+ people live within 2 miles of these modeled methane emissions events. Learn how your community may be affected.

Health professionals work hard to care for our patients in the face of extreme heat, but we can’t do it alone. To protect those we serve, we need strong leadership at the state level from our governors. With their partnership, we can advance policy solutions that keep everyone healthy and safe as temperatures rise.

A new report reveals that more than 60% of Colorado oil and gas wells haven’t complied with the state’s 2022 chemical disclosure law — a law meant to protect public health and ban toxic “forever chemicals.” Over 30 million pounds of chemicals were injected into wells across 13 counties — most of them with no public disclosure. That’s a major threat to transparency, safety, and health across the state. 📍Wells with missing disclosures are concentrated in Weld County — the site of Chevron’s April 2025 blowout that spilled millions of gallons of oil, chemicals, and wastewater over four days. At least some of the chemicals used at that site should have been disclosed under the law. They were not. 📘 Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/dcG7pNj3 📰 Coverage in The Guardian: https://lnkd.in/gBeUbace
