We take on the gravest current threats to human health and survival -- nuclear weapons, economic inequity, and a climate crisis driven by dependence on fossil fuels. 0 0 92243 0 0 Climate Change: Believing that climate change is a public health crisis, we work to reduce the use of greenhouse gas emissions by advocating for a transition away from fossil fuels toward clean energy. We educate both the public and members of the medical community to better understand the links between climate change and human health, and we engage in advocacy with decision-makers to mitigate climate change and related air pollution in Washington State. In 2023, we held several educational and training workshops in order to support health professionals in learning about climate change and developing successful advocacy skills. Our health professional members and staff spoke at public hearings on proposed fossil fuel projects and clean and renewable energy initiatives, in support of land use protections to limit fossil fuel projects and infrastructure in our region, and in support of energy choices that reduce our region's contribution to climate change. WPSR members supported the next generation of health activists by speaking about climate change with the University of Washington, Washington State University, Virginia Mason, and before medical groups and associations with an interest in the issue of Climate Change and Health. 99981 0 0 Nuclear Weapons Abolition: Because the use - whether accidental or intentional - of even one nuclear weapon would have disastrous consequences, we work to prevent the use and proliferation of nuclear weapons. Our efforts in 2023 focused on educating and impacting decision-makers and on building a statewide grassroots movement calling for nuclear weapons abolition. The coalition, Washington Against Nuclear Weapons, has grown to over 50 organizational members. We held a number of meetings with our members of Congress and their staff, urging them to support policies that would reduce the likelihood of nuclear war. Our staff and volunteers educated the public on nuclear weapons issues through media placement and appearances, educational events across the state, and a speakers' training for interested volunteers. 97654 0 0 Economic Inequity: Recognizing the detrimental consequences that economic inequity has on population health, we seek to reduce that inequity in the long term and to mitigate its negative health outcomes in the short term. In 2023, we expressed our support for tax reform, increasing social spending that benefits poor and marginalized communities, and fair access to economic opportunities for all. We hosted public education events to educate health professionals, researchers and students about the links among economic inequity and health, as well as locally relevant efforts to address the problem. 9768 0 0 Other Programs: WPSR occasionally engages in issues related to - but beyond - our core program areas, including supporting safe and adequate cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site and supporting international diplomacy and protection of human rights. This includes limited administrative support for medical teams traveling to provide medical education and services in the Middle East. We also work to support and develop the next generation of health activists by supporting student chapters at the two largest public universities in the state. 9768 0 0 299646 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WA X Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility 2065472630 2524 16th Ave S Suite 300 Seattle WA 98144 Max Savishinsky Executive Director 40 0 X 124164 0 14454 Ken Lans President 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Mark Vossler Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Anita Penuelas Secretary 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Joseph Berkson Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Stephen Bezruchka Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Chris Covert-Bowlds Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Annemarie Dooley Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 David Hall Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Nan Noble Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Aimee Svendsen Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 124164 0 14454 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 140423 12680 76295 389391 0 618789 0 15254 0 0 15254 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 49285 140423 41172 8113 0 8113 0 642156 0 0 23367 138618 69310 41585 27723 206595 161745 28746 16104 2174 1718 295 161 19326 16826 1933 567 28961 19384 5899 3678 4425 0 4425 0 56142 56142 7310 7310 0 0 403 300 0 103 16946 3566 7164 6216 1638 737 134 767 19984 13375 4071 2538 3046 2807 232 7 2702 2568 134 0 1971 0 1971 0 510241 299646 96589 114006 227866 44400 363861 674415 4387 15878 596114 734693 18395 25059 18395 25059 X 405824 448288 171895 261346 577719 709634 596114 734693 131915 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 366206 462424 524368 614357 618789 2586144 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 366206 462424 524368 614357 618789 2586144 192254 2393890 130 115 556 1441 15254 17496 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2603640 0 0.91944 0.91350 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 12621 2899 15520 284126 299646 59929 14982 0 0 54469 52930 49727 59929 217055 325583 2994 8783 9165 15520 36462 13617 13233 12432 14982 54264 81396 955 5855 3704 12621 23135 X X X 1 Mason Jay Blacher & Associates 2210 Fairview Ave E Seattle WA 98102 Development Counsel 0 10000 37567 -27567 GFS Events LLC 26325 SE 31st St Sammamish WA 98075 Event Planning 0 168127 18575 149552 178127 56142 121985 Health Justice Gala 189708 140423 49285 0 437 9276 23456 7570 433 0 0 189708 140423 49285 0 437 9276 23456 7570 433 41172 8113 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 Members make annual contributions to the organization.
