The Climate Crisis: PSR CO is on it! Donate

Dear Friends, Family and Fellow Travelers,

 

If you are receiving this you know me so I will keep short the details of my life.  

I have been involved with Physicians for Social Responsibility since the early 1980's when we appeared on the brink of nuclear holocaust. I renewed my involvement as a founding member of the PSR Colorado chapter in 2019 after I became even more painfully aware of the imminent threat of climate change and what that was going to mean for the future of all of us, but particularly children. I rediscovered my love for PSR and its work. PSR's definitive stance on climate change as a health crisis and environmental injustice as a social determinant has been an inspiration and motivation.  

I still believe that the voice of health professionals and the truth of science is of primary importance even though that is certainly under attack.

We are not just physicians. Our organization includes nurses, PAs, therapists, scientists, public health professionals, researchers, legislators, and every manner of health professional along with our allies who believe the health voice is important in protecting our people and our planet. 

We are advocating for cleaner air, cleaner energy, and a nuclear free safe climate future. We do this by providing information to the public and decision-makers about the health impacts of toxic pollution, the climate crisis, and nuclear waste and by advocating for less polluting, more climate-protective consumer choices and public policy.

 PSR founder, Dr. Helen Caldicott reminded us “The future of our children is a trust we have been given. To conserve and grow, not to squander wastefully on needless excesses. The earth is a trust, to protect and to honor. Our home, our livelihood, our future rests in the quality of our stewardship. Let us become better stewards.”

 I thank each of you for contributing your time, skills and money to make our world, our State, and our communities healthier and kinder. 

Please consider a donation to PSR Colorado.  We love monthly donations, however small, because these commitments have the most meaningful impact on our ability to plan and act. I invite you to just join us and get to know our work, and share with friends or follow us at PSR CO facebook or join us at PSRColorado.org.

 

With Deep Gratitude,
