Please join us as we organize a contingent of health care professionals to march in the September 20th Climate Strike! We are honored to be joining allies in this youth-led effort to build a vibrant, sustainable future. You can join millions of people across the globe who are linking together to demand an end to our dependence on fossil fuels.
In addition to global solidarity, we will be focusing locally, demanding that our elected representatives declare climate change a health emergency that needs swift, decisive and thorough policy action to reduce emissions. We will also demand that leaders implement the policies detailed in the U.S. Call to Action: On Climate, Health, and Equity. A Policy Action Agenda to protect health—today and tomorrow. The Agenda includes further suggested actions and extensive information for us all. We are particularly committed to ensure our voices as health care professionals are included to more effectively frame climate policies as health policies.
Please wear white coats if you are able!
For more information contact SF Bay Area PSR President Bob Gould.

Crude oil from tar sands in Canada is being shipped by rail through our neighborhoods and being exported using our rivers, putting our communities at risk and causing untold harm to native lands, boreal forests, our climate, and our health.
In collaboration with many of our community partners, Oregon PSR has planned an upcoming vigil at Zenith Energy, and we hope you will join us. The vigil at Zenith Energy will be one of dozens of events taking place from September 20th through the 27th throughout Oregon during the Global Climate Strike.
We will be keeping watch, legally and peacefully, outside of the Zenith Energy facility to express our concern for the planet, our discontent at the current status quo, and our optimism that things can change for the better. We will be tracking train movements, observing construction at the site, and putting pressure on elected officials, as well as the Zenith Energy facility, to cease these dangerous tar sands oil shipments.
This effort is being organized as part of the Global Climate Strike week of action, with input from the Stop Zenith Collaborative, 350PDX, and other organizations and individuals. Members of the media, public officials, faith leaders, and all others are invited to join the vigil. Bring food to share, illumination for the dark, pictures of what motivates you, music, art, and your watchful presence.
To get more involved, contact Oregon PSR Healthy Climate Action Team member Melanie Plaut, MD by email or phone (503-544-8227) to sign up for a four-hour shift during the vigil. Shifts begin at 7:00 AM & PM, 11:00 AM & PM, and 3:00 AM & PM. Vigil shift partners, safety details, train-spotting techniques, and information regarding tar sands and the history of Zenith will be provided.
