The single most articulate and passionate advocate of citizen action
to remedy the nuclear and environmental crises, Dr. Helen Caldicott,
has devoted the last 38 years to an international campaign to educate
the public about the medical hazards of the nuclear age and the
necessary changes in human behavior to stop environmental destruction.



Dr. Caldicott co-founded the Physicians for Social Responsibility, an
organization of 23,000 doctors committed to educating their colleagues
about the dangers of nuclear power, nuclear weapons and nuclear war.
The Smithsonian has named Dr. Caldicott as one of the most influential
women of the 20th Century. She has written for numerous publications
and has authored seven books, including “Nuclear Power is Not the
Answer” (2006) and “A Desperate Passion: An Autobiography” (1996). Dr.
Caldicott’s most recent book is the newly revised and updated “If You
Love This Planet: A Plan to Heal the Earth” (2009).



This event is free and open to the public.



Copies of several of Dr. Caldicott’s books will be available for
purchase; Dr. Caldicott will conduct a book signing following her
talk. Representatives of local social justice and peace groups have
also been invited to table at this event.
