Health and Environmental Impacts of Nuclear Weapons and War
with Robert M. Gould, MD, President SF Bay PSR
Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 7:00-8:45pm, online
CME credit available!
REGISTER HERE
Over 80 years since the atomic bombings that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we face the dawn of a new global nuclear arms race that compounds the climate and pandemic threats to human survival. Today, the nine nuclear weapons-armed states possess over 12,000 nuclear weapons, hundreds of which are on hair-trigger alert.
This presentation will describe the manifold public health threats posed by: current global programs to expand and modernize these nuclear weapons arsenals; the abrogation of international treaties to reduce the dangers; and areas of heightened great-power confrontation.
While ignoring our climate emergency, the U.S. government plans to spend over $4 million an hour over the next 30 years to “modernize” our nuclear weapons arsenal, with profound opportunity costs to public and environmental health. Alternative visions for human survival are offered by the global movement to abolish nuclear weapons embodied in the 2017 UN Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) In advancing this goal, Physicians for Social Responsibility and coalition partners working within the “Back from the Brink” and similar campaigns have passed anti-nuclear weapons resolutions in many U.S. municipalities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles. Prospects for connecting such campaigns with wider popular movements seeking to transform U.S. and global priorities in the direction of climate, environmental and social justice necessary for global survival will also be explored.
Learning Objectives:
1. Summarize the legacy of global public and environmental health impacts of nuclear weapons development, production, testing, and use.
2. Describe the historical contribution of physicians and other health professionals in articulating the health voice as a key component of the global peace and disarmament movement.
3. Identify current dangers to global public health posed by current nuclear weapons arsenals and plans for modernization.
4. Summarize current national and global organizing efforts to rid the world of nuclear weapons, and the challenges to their growth and success.

The Problem with Plastic: A Book Discussion
Hosted by City Lights Foundation, co-presented by Beyond Plastics, and SF Bay PSR
Monday, March 9, 6pm PT, online
MORE INFO & REGISTER
Join us for a conversation with Judith Enck and Adam Mahoney discussing their new book: The Problem with Plastic: How We Can Save Ourselves and Our Planet Before It’s Too Late – Published by The New Press
A powerful look at plastic’s impact on human health and the environment, and how we can fight back by putting people and the planet over plastics. Plastic is everywhere—wrapped around our food, stitched into our clothes, even coursing through our veins. Once a marvel of modern science, plastic has become so inextricably woven into our lives that imagining a world without it can seem impossible. Over the last seventy-five years, plastic has cradled our planet in a synthetic embrace.
Hope to see you there!

Toxic City: Redevelopment and Environmental Justice in San Francisco
Hosted by City Lights Bookstore in conjunction with SF Bay PSR
Did you miss this event?
WATCH the RECORDING HERE
Lindsey Dillon discussed her new book!
With comments by Karen Pierce of the Bayview Hunters Point Community Advocates, SF’s oldest environmental justice nonprofit.
Toxic City: Redevelopment and Environmental Justice in San Francisco
Published by University of California Press
Toxic City presents a novel critique of postindustrial green gentrification through a study of Bayview Hunters Point, a historically Black neighborhood in San Francisco. As cities across the United States clean up and transform contaminated waterfronts and abandoned factories into inviting spaces of urban nature and green living, working-class residents—who previously lived with the effects of state abandonment, corporate divestment, and industrial pollution—are threatened with displacement at the very moment these neighborhoods are cleaned, greened, and revitalized. Lindsey Dillon details how residents of Bayview Hunters Point have fought for years for toxic cleanup and urban redevelopment to be a reparative process and how their efforts are linked to long-standing struggles for Black community control and self-determination. She argues that environmental racism is part of a long history of harm linked to slavery and its afterlives and concludes that environmental justice can be conceived within a larger project of reparations.
Building Electrification: New Studies, Advocacy, and How to Electrify Your Home
Ask experts questions about electrifying your home to make it healthier and more climate-friendly!
Wednesday, July 24, 2024
Recording coming soon!
Learn about new research, upcoming regulations on new water and space heaters, how to protect your family, electrify your home, and advocate for a just transition to all-electric homes in CA and beyond.
After industry and transportation, buildings are a top emitter of greenhouse gases. In California, 25% of greenhouse gas emissions are from buildings and 15% are from homes. Electrification of buildings is a critical step toward decarbonization, improved health, and health equity.
Fossil Fuel (“natural” gas) appliances and heaters are proven to increase indoor air pollution and exacerbate conditions such as asthma. The health harms from indoor pollution are compounded by the high outdoor air pollution levels in California, per the American Lung Association’s State of the Air 2023 report. Also, while 98% of Californians live in counties with a failing grade for at least one air pollution measurement, a person of color is three times more likely to live in a county with failing grades in all measurements.
-
- Dr. Bret Andrews, SF Bay PSR board member, will share the latest health and scientific studies on indoor air pollution that is caused by burning fossil fuels in our homes and info about local and state air quality regulatory agencies plans to electrify home appliances.
- Nurse Crystal Loucel, SF Bay PSR/Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments fellow will review how environmental justice communities are overburdened by air pollution and how building electrification can improve health equity, and she will provide a healthy home checklist.
- QuitCarbon will answer all your questions about how to transition your home to a healthier, climate-friendly, electric home. QuitCarbon offers free home electrification plans and support to save you time and money.
- We will also cover our recent advocacy efforts and how you can help to promote an equitable and just transition to electric buildings in California.

First We Bombed New Mexico
An award-winning, anti-nuclear film by Lois Lipman, featuring PSR Awardee Tina Cordova, Leader Tularosa Basin Downwinders
WATCH the TRAILER HERE
LEARN MORE and FIND a SCREENING HERE
First We Bombed New Mexico is the untold story of Trinity, the world’s first nuclear bomb detonated in New Mexico one month before the bombing of Hiroshima.
It is a story of government betrayal with tragic consequences.
Thousands of New Mexicans – mostly Hispanic and Native American – were exposed to catastrophic levels of radioactive fallout, never warned, never acknowledged and never helped afterwards. Generations of cancers followed.
Inspiring New Mexico Hispanic cancer survivor, Tina Cordova has catalyzed a movement seeking compensation for families – mostly Hispanic and Native – who suffer multigenerational cancers tied to that bomb – and who continue to be ignored.
This documentary is witness to the people’s narrative for voices not heard.

Dark Circle
An award-winning, anti-nuclear film by SF Bay PSR member Judy Irving, and Christopher Beaver and Ruth Landy
WATCH HERE

MORE STREAMING OPTIONS HERE
It’s been 75 years since the start of the Atomic Age, with the U.S. nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, but its trail of destruction has never ended.
Dark Circle covers both the period’s beginnings and its aftermath, providing a scientific primer on the catastrophic power of nuclear energy while also relating tragic human stories detailing the devastating toll radioactive toxicity has taken on people and livestock—focusing in large part on Rocky Flats, Colorado, whose plutonium processing facility infamously contaminated the surrounding area.
Documentary Grand Prize winner at Sundance, Academy shortlisted for Best Documentary, and Emmy winner, Dark Circle is no less potent today than it was 40 years ago. The new 2K HD Restoration done at FotoKem was assisted by AMPAS and supervised by co-director Judy Irving.
“Dark Circle is one of the most horrifying films I’ve seen, and also sometimes one of the funniest (if you can laugh at the same things in real life that you found amusing in Dr. Strangelove). Using powers granted by the Freedom of Information Act, and sleuthing that turned up government film the government didn’t even know it had, the producers of this film have created a mosaic of the Atomic Age. It is a tribute to the power of the material, and to the relentless digging of the filmmakers, that the movie is completely riveting. Four Stars!” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Radioactive: The Women of Three Mile Island
Another award-winning, anti-nuclear film!
Starting March 12, 2024
Available to stream on Apple+ and Amazon
READ MORE and WATCH TRAILER
March 28, 2024, marks the 45th Anniversary of the Three Mile Island meltdown—the worst commercial nuclear power accident in U.S. history.
A resonant story about a battle of wills, hubris, and energy – atomic, maternal, moral, and feminist. At the prompting of an ecofeminism professor turned visual journalist, the four original “concerned” mothers, a two-woman legal team and a reporter, now all much older, wiser, and bolder, break open years of corporate silencing and nuclear industry doublespeak, and tell their stories about the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident, the worst commercial nuclear reactor meltdown in U.S. history. And though this disaster took place in 1979, the life and death implications continue in the spiritual, physical, and political DNA of the community, its residents, and their descendants.
