"What would it take to eliminate nuclear weapons in your lifetime?"

Each year the Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility sponsor the Greenfield Peace Writing Scholarship for 11th and 12th grade students in Oregon. In its tenth consecutive year in 2018, the Greenfield Peace Writing Scholarship is an opportunity to hear from young Oregonians on some of the most pressing issues of our time. OPSR sponsors this annual writing scholarship to encourage Oregon’s youth to consider their leadership role in promoting a more healthy, just, and peaceful world. This year a record number of 200 students responded to the essay question: "What would it take to eliminate nuclear weapons in your lifetime."

Join us to hear the essays and engage in conversation with the recipients about their hopes, thoughts, and ideas of how to eliminate nuclear weapons.

This year's awards ceremony will be on Saturday April 28, 2018 6:00PM at Eliot Center at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in Portland, 1121 SW Main Street. The keynoter will be Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner, an internationally acclaimed poet and spoken word artist of Marshallese ancestry.
