Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility<\/strong> (WPSR) is a 40-year-old, physician-led advocacy organization working to create a healthy, just, peaceful and sustainable world. 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. Through its three issue-based programs, WPSR leverages the credible and trusted voice of healthcare professionals to educate the public, influence decision-makers, and promote public policies that support our mission — including local, state-level, and national action to address the climate crisis.<\/p>\n The mission of WPSR\u2019s Nuclear Weapons Abolition program is to reduce and ultimately eliminate nuclear weapons and the threat they pose to human health and survival. We do this primarily through building a grassroots, coalition-based anti-nuclear movement that can effectively influence Members of Congress on our nuclear weapons policy priorities. We engage health professionals in this work and play a key leadership role in a broad-based coalition across Washington State that mobilizes and organizes local communities to take action on the gravest threats to human health, including nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n The Nuclear Weapons Abolition Program Organizer represents WPSR in leading a nationally renowned movement in Washington State to promote the abolition of nuclear weapons, sane nuclear policy, and nuclear justice. As a longstanding leader and member of effective anti-nuclear coalitions, WPSR plays a unique role in bringing the credibility of health professionals to anti-nuclear advocacy. The Nuclear Weapons Abolition Program Organizer engages WPSR members, coalition partners, and others in education, lobbying, and grassroots advocacy to protect human health and survival from the existential threat posed by nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n We\u2019re seeking applicants who are ready to commit their time, talent, and passion for advocating, organizing, and mobilizing health professionals to be advocates in the fight against nuclear weapons, and for justice for those who have suffered from the legacy of weapons production, testing, and usage. We look for smarts, organizing experience, and an eagerness to learn. We value leadership experience of all kinds, especially organizing, grassroots outreach, and building campus groups.
