Physicians for Social Responsibility (National Office)
MISSION
Guided by the values and expertise of medicine and public health, Physicians for Social Responsibility works to protect human life from the gravest threats to health and survival.
WHERE YOUR SUPPORT GOES
Founded in 1961, PSR made its mark by documenting the presence of Strontium-90, a highly radioactive waste product of atmospheric nuclear testing, in children's teeth. This finding led to the Limited Nuclear Test Ban treaty that ended atmospheric nuclear testing.
THE RESULTS
Won a major victory against nuclear weapons with our work for the successful ratification of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), the first treaty in a generation which significantly lowers the number of strategic arms of the United States and Russia.
