Physicians for Social Responsibility’s annual 5K Run/Walk, Legs Against Arms, is all about strengthening our legs as we oppose illegal arms (handguns) in Philadelphia. Violence is a major public health problem in our country, and Philadelphia is no exception. At the close of 2011, Philadelphia once again topped the list of major U.S. cities for its murder rate – 324 victims.
According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, “during the length of the U.S. combat operations in the Iraq war, 3,517 American troops were killed in action – and 3,113 people were killed in Philadelphia”. The vast majority of violent crimes are committed with a firearm.
Help PSR STOP THE VIOLENCE in our city by raising funds to support PSR’s violence prevention programs for youth and families.
