Make a difference in the challenge to confront global warming and prevent nuclear war and the development and use of nuclear weapons.
Climate change’s threats to human health and life are growing. Will you join our latest effort to roll back climate change?
PSR has played a leading role in the efforts to prevent nuclear war and eliminate nuclear weapons. The motives of the organization are clear and the members do not profit from membership. PSR strives to produce accurate and scientifically based reports, and depends on the intellectual honesty and integrity of its members. PSR is willing to take unpopular political positions in order to speak out against threats to public health and safety. All this makes PSR an organization that people are willing to listen to.
