On Jesse Jackson - Jesse Jackson: The Nuclear Disarmament Candidate - "As a grassroots activist, Jackson consistently expressed the belief that peace and equality were connected. Jackson made nuclear disarmament a central component of his campaign not in spite of, but because of race and one would be hard pressed to find a presidential candidate before or after Jackson that has demonstrated such a strong antinuclear platform. " - The Nuclear Times - Vincent Intondi, PhD, Executive Director, Oregon PSR - link in bio

In The Nuclear Times, OPSR Executive Director Vincent Intondi reflects on Jesse Jackson’s legacy and why he made nuclear disarmament central to his 1984 campaign. Jackson saw peace and equality as inseparable and linked disarmament to justice and human survival.

Endangerment Finding | Physicians for Social Responsibility Endangerment Finding Updates We're suing the Trump Administration and Lee Zeldin's EPA for their illegal and reckless repeal of the Endangerment Finding for greenhouse gases. Follow along for updates…

As OPSR Board Member Patricia Kullberg, MD, MPH, warns, this decision would “sacrifice our kids, seniors, and communities to polluters.”

Physicians for Social Responsibility is challenging the repeal in court. See more here: buff.ly/1cOHGXy

On the repeal of the endangerment finding - "Greenhouse gases are already making us sick—and repealing the Endangerment Finding will only make things worse. The EPA’s power to regulate health-harming pollutants comes from this critical safeguard. Throwing it out would put public health at serious risk and sacrifice our kids, seniors, and communities to polluters." Patricia Kullberg, MD, MPH - Oregon PSR

This week, EPA finalized its repeal of the Endangerment Finding, the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gas pollution under the Clean Air Act.

Without it, federal authority to limit climate pollution is significantly weakened, putting public health at greater risk.
