Members of WPSR's Nuclear Weapons Abolition Task Force were happy to meet with Rep. Pramila Jayapal last week!
Representative Jayapal is Washington state's only champion for the abolition of nuclear weapons- and has the record to prove it.

WPSR, Whole Washington 🍎, PNHP - WW and others presented a program in Olympia called Healthcare not Warfare- discussing the need to radically change our healthcare system and militaristic national priorities. We'll be taking these conversations around the state!

Climate & Health Task Force member, Claire Richards, PhD, RN, sheds light in a Seattle Times LTE

In #JohnsonVGrantsPass , SCOTUS will decide if cities can ticket or arrest people for sleeping outside with no other options. Criminalizing homelessness is not the answer. It's time for better solutions like affordable housing & supportive services.

Radical idea: Foreign policy should be driven by the public interest — not warmongers in Washington with financial ties to the military-industrial complex.
