The Healthy Vote: Take action to protect education, long-term care, and our climate

WPSR is excited to invite you to learn, take action, and protect the health of our state! This November, Washingtonians will be asked to approve or reject three dangerous ballot initiatives. These initiatives threaten to harm our health by gutting our critically needed WA long-term care program, stripping away essential funding for education, and repealing the vital Climate Commitment Act. That's why we're asking you to join us on July 30th for a free virtual event featuring leaders and spokespersons from the campaigns working to stop these anti-health initiatives. At this event, we'll hear about each initiative, why they threaten the health of Washingtonians, and learn what we can do to protect our state's education, long-term care, and climate investments.

Town Hall on Medical Debt

Town Hall on Medical Debt

Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility and Whole Washington are teaming up for some Town Halls along with Undue medical Debt (pka RIP Medical Debt).  We are visiting every corner of the state to create spaces for open dialog about the failures of the current for-profit system, to solicit stories from those impacted by the lack of adequate nurse staffing, hospital and provider closures, challenges of navigating insurance coverage and denials, or surprise bills and financial debt. This is a non-partisan, educational event – open to the public.  WPSR will be sharing their Demand Access program, Undue Medical Debt wants to raise enough money to buy back 1 million dollars in medical debt from Washingtonians. And Whole Washington will be present to discuss our  Washington Health Trust.  We’ll end with Q & A from you, the audience.  Everyone has a story and we want to hear yours.

REGISTER HERE: https://wholewashington.org/event/seattle-wpsr-rip-medical-debt-whole-washington-town-hall/

We believe we can do better by establishing the Washington Health Trust and designing a nonprofit system that works for patients and providers, without the corrupting influence of for-profit insurance companies. We believe unions, small businesses and our communities will benefit greatly by disconnecting healthcare from employment and ensuring healthy families, Longer and more productive lives and a healthy workforce.

Nuclear War: A Scenario with Annie Jacobsen

  • Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

WPSR and Back from the Brink will be hosting a virtual event with Annie Jacobsen, investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author of *Nuclear War: A Scenario on Wednesday, May 29 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT.
 
In her latest book, Jacobsen examines the reality of what would unfold in the seconds, minutes, and hours following the launch of a nuclear attack against the United States and the full-scale nuclear war that would likely follow. In so doing, she exposes what the government and military do not want the public to understand about the current state of nuclear weapons, and the policies and procedures currently in place that we believe must be changed.
 
For the discussion portion of the event, Ms. Jacobsen will be joined by Eddie Laiche (a high school senior at John Burroughs High School in Burbank, CA and co-founder of Students for Nuclear Disarmament) and Dr. Ira Helfand (BftB Steering Committee member and a leader of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War and the International Campaign
to Abolish Nuclear Weapons). The event will be moderated by Denise Duffield (BftB Steering Committee member and Associate Director of Physicians for Social Responsibility-Los Angeles).
 
We also invite you to register to attend the online event here https://click.everyaction.com/k/84484472/471663070/1775129860
 
We're very excited for this opportunity to bring more attention to Ms. Jacobsen’s compelling and provocative book, raise awareness about the growing threat of nuclear war, and provide participants with tangible policy solutions and ways to take action.

Climate Crisis: the Impacts of Militarism

Climate Crisis: the Impacts of Militarism

Abolishing nuclear weapons, addressing climate change, and reducing economic inequity are all essential to creating a healthier state, country, and world. We often approach these issues separately in our advocacy, but this event [event name] focuses on the way all three of these threats to health are intertwined. Featuring speakers from the Marshall Islands, where the impacts of nuclear weapons and climate crises has had disastrous consequences for health and well-being, we will discuss the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons to health, the climate, and the intersection between military spending and economic inequity. Join WPSR on May 22nd to explore this critical intersection of climate, nuclear weapons, and economic inequity.
