Studies have shown that more equal societies have lower mortality, longer lives, and more well-being, and that economic inequality drives both poor and unequal health outcomes.

WPSR brings the trusted health voice to bear on the adoption of policies that address economic inequity as a root cause of poor health in Washington state and beyond.

The climate crisis poses extreme risk to the health of Washingtonians now, and these harms from pollution, heat and other causes will only intensify in coming years.

WPSR’s Climate & Health Program mobilizes the voices of healthcare professionals to raise public awareness and influence decision-makers to mitigate these risks by passing climate-friendly policy.

There are nearly 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world, 42% of which are in the hands of the United States and 25% of those are in Washington state. Nearly 2,000 are on hair-trigger alert, and could be launched within minutes.

From mining to production, testing, use, and accidents, every part of the nuclear weapons system damages human health.
