SUPPORT FOR THOSE EXPOSED TO RADIATION UNTIL END OF 2027
RADIATION EXPOSURE AND COMPENSATION ACT (RECA)
All of us are downwinders! We may be surprised if we talk to our families how many of us have been exposed to radiation. Whether it's from weapons development and testing, uranium mining, nuclear energy or other nuclear related activities - we have been impacted without consent or compensation. THERE IS HELP RIGHT NOW! Please consider reaching out to the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium for support. A lawyer is not needed - reach out to the community organizers who brought this funding to our people a reality. Every little bit can help.
