*[Enwl-eng] NEW BLOG: Justice for Downwinders

[ENWLine]

Seventy-six years ago this month, on July 16, 1945, the first nuclear bomb in the world was exploded in the desert of New Mexico. Exactly 34 years later, on July 16, 1979, also in New Mexico, the dam holding back massive amounts of uranium tailings at Church Rock on the Navajo Nation broke, releasing uranium downstream.  It is long past time to compensate those acutely exposed to the hundreds of atomic bombs  the U.S. government has detonated and the materials used to make these weapons. Expanding the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) is an essential step beginning to repair the harms and injustices of nuclear bombings and uranium mining.  Read our blog to learn more.  READ NOW: Justice for Downwinders Thanks for all you do!
