For far too long, veterans, Indigenous communities, and downwinders have suffered the invisible damage of radiation exposure, battling severe health problems and struggling under the weight of medical bills, fear, and suffering, without support from our government.
We must call for the expansion of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) , which would ensure that these groups receive the recognition they deserve, the compensation they desperately need, and the promise that their suffering is not forgotten.

Radiation damage is invisible, but it has caused severe health problems, causing generations of families to struggle under the weight of medical bills, fear, and suffering. In order to address this injustice, edits to the Radioactive Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), which passed the Senate, would expand access for compensation to victims of radiation exposure and close unfair gaps in coverage and support.
Now, the RECA is before the House of Representatives, and we must pressure them to act now. Time is running out.
The truth is that the U.S. government poisoned countless Americans to build weapons of mass destruction. Together, we must stand up for those impacted:
*
Downwinders
who
lived
in
and
near
nuclear
test
areas
have
battled
cancer
and
other
severe
diseases,
with
many
losing
their
lives
to
the
insidious
effects
of
radiation;
*
Veterans
who
were
unknowingly
exposed
to
radiation
during
their
service,
and
have
since
grappled
with
serious
health
issues;
and
*
Indigenous
communities
whose
ancestral
lands
were
used
for
nuclear
testing
and
mining
have
suffered
untold
harm,
including
debilitating
diseases
and
environmental
degradation.
We have the power to improve lives and help alleviate the suffering of our communities. Please join us in signing on now.
Show up for justice: Demand your representatives co-sponsor and pass critically needed amendments to the RECA (H.R.4426) today. [[link removed]]Stand with Radiation Victims » [[link removed]]
