Indigenous radiation survivors need your help to get to DC
After @SpeakerJohnson let RECA expire in June, Diné and Pueblo advocates are raising their voices. They have a simple message: pass RECA before we die.

I’m sharing a crane to honor the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and every victim of nuclear weapons production and testing. I’m committed to building a future where humanity and hope prevail.

Congress has a responsibility to the people sickened by our country's nuclear weapons program. This is about doing what is right. @SpeakerJohnson, please bring RECA reauthorization for a vote! #SaveRECA @DownwindDoc

"We have a duty now to take care of everyone sickened by their own government in the creation of our nuclear arsenal. It’s long past time that Congress does its job," write Rep. James Moylan and Leslie Begay. usatoday.com/story/opinion/2…

Today, the Oppenheimer biopic premieres for the first time in Japan.
The Japanese public was interested when Oppenheimer himself visited in 1960. What do modern-day audiences think of the film?

Nuclear weapons testing in NM and other states has caused thousands of people to endure agony & suffering. Every year since entering office, I've introduced legislation to strengthen RECA.
The Federal government has a responsibility to make it right. I will never stop fighting.

Too many Arizonans living in rural and tribal communities have been exposed to uranium mining and atmospheric radiation, causing serious health effects.
Downwinders deserve to be fairly compensated.
I’m going to keep working with Republicans and Democrats to get this done.

I am blocking the Senate from immediately proceeding to the defense bill. Congressional leadership has chosen to abandon the people of Missouri and the nation poisoned by their own government. I’m not going to make it easy on them

Dawn Chapman, who lives within miles of a nuclear site in Mo. told me she was locked in her bathroom, nearly in tears after hearing this news
"This puts me in a position where I have to do both: I have to advocate for my community but I also have to ease my kids broken hearts."

This could spell some major procedural trouble for the NDAA. Hawley has threatened to throw up every road block he can without the inclusion of RECA.

Tonight at 9 on @FOX2now we’ll hear from Senator Hawley and @Justmomsstl about RECA and the impact of not renewing the bill.
6 Dec 2023
I am told RECA renewal is NOT in the final defense bill. The backroom dealmakers took it out - even after the big bipartisan vote in the Senate. This is a major betrayal of thousands and thousands of Missourians who have been lied to and ignored for years

It is also a betrayal of the tens of thousands of Americans made sick by their government’s nuclear waste who have relied on this program for life-saving help. They are now left to fend for themselves as the program expires

⏰ It's time to act. Right now, Congress is deciding on justice for survivors of U.S. nuclear weapons tests, mining and waste. Let's ensure fairness and assistance for those affected by radiation exposure by strengthening #RECA before it expires.
