If you had 3.6 Trillion Dollars💸, would you build a missile defense system that leaves over 75 million Americans at risk? Or would you rather fund nearly 2.7 million nurses 🩺for 10 years? What makes you feel more safe?

Read the report by IPPNW, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Back from the Brink to learn about the false promise that is the "Golden Dome" and the risks and costs it places on the United States. (Spoiler alert: it is a Golden Scam)

Last week, IPPNW participated in the 79th World Health Assembly ⚕. Led by IPPNW's Geneva Liaison Office (GLO), a delegation of health professionals and medical students brought the message of peace, disarmament, and sustainability to the world's leading health body. Here are just a few, of many, ways our delegation engaged:

🩺 Together with Switzerland and WFPHA, IPPNW hosted a side event, "Peace and Health: Public Health's Role", where speakers challenged the notion that war is solely a political consequence, framing violent conflict as a preventable determinant of ill health requiring education and awareness.
🏥Inside the WHO, IPPNW member Andy Haines presented on the climate impacts of nuclear war, citing studies from the British Medical Journal and The Lancet to support the Global Peace and Health Initiative (GPHI) in protecting health resources during crises.
👩‍⚕️IPPNW Board Member Stella Ziegler spoke at an event at MSF on the intersection of peace, health, and climate, emphasizing how younger health professionals are deeply engaged. She highlighted that for frontline workers, maintaining silence in the face of observed suffering can be more dangerous than speaking out.

The Golden Dome is a false promise which would leave tens of millions of Americans vulnerable to nuclear attack, stimulate a global arms race, and cost trillions of dollars.

Dr. Laura Grego with the Union of Concerned Scientists, Senator Ed Markey, Representative Jim McGovern, and Dr. Ira Helfand spoke in DC last week on the dangers and misconceptions of strategic missile defense.
