John,

Last week, over 8,300 people signed on in support of Rep. Cori Bush’s Justice for Jana Elementary Act of 2023, which would create a fund to clean up and test schools impacted by toxic radioactive waste from the government’s Manhattan Project.

Cori also met with the U.S. Secretary of Energy last week, who oversees the department entrusted with protecting people from radioactive waste.

We saw meaningful action from President Biden, who just came out in support of compensating communities across the country -- like St. Louis -- which are still endangered by the dumping of radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project.

Health care coverage and compensation may be expanded to more states, including Missouri. This is an important victory, but the fight is not over to clean up dangerous contaminated sites, such as Coldwater Creek in Cori’s district.

Please donate today to support Cori Bush’s urgent work to clean up radioactive waste sites and secure environmental justice.

In St. Louis County, Coldwater Creek was a dumping ground for radioactive waste, increasing the risk of cancer for generations of people playing in the Creek.

When Cori used to live near the Creek, her basement would regularly flood with potentially radioactive water. That toxic waste still endangers the community: A recent report found unsafe levels of radioactive waste in and around an elementary school that sits on the Creek.

Cori’s advocacy has secured a federal environmental review of Coldwater Creek, which is especially urgent now that communities living near the Creek experience more frequent flooding due to climate change.

Cori is a leader on this important issue in Congress, and she’s an environmental justice champion.

Her bill to invest in marginalized frontline communities (the Environmental Justice Mapping and Data Collection Act) has been signed into law, and she’s continuing to lead transformative policies like the Green New Deal for Cities. She’s secured hundreds of millions of dollars for public transit infrastructure across the country, along with funding for federal climate action.

Can you chip in today to support Cori Bush’s environmental justice leadership in Congress?
