Take Action! They Let It Expire--But We MUST Still Urge Congress To Support RECA's Extension And Expansion!

We are asking you to contact your Representative and urge them to encourage House Speaker Mike Johnson to bring RECA (S.3853) to the House floor for a vote immediately. Ask your Representative to ASK HIM to schedule a vote on the RECA Amendments in the next session. It is a travesty that they let it expire without a vote this session!

We need your help to ensure justice for those affected by the devastating impacts of US nuclear bomb testing and production. The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) expired on June 7th without a vote, and it is crucial that we take action to renew and expand this critical legislation.

RECA provides essential compensation to individuals and communities who have suffered from the health effects of radiation exposure, including cancer, respiratory illnesses, and other serious conditions. They let this critical bill expire without a vote, leaving many without the support they need and we cannot let them forget about those affected!

Thank you for your support and advocacy on this critical issue. Together, we can ensure that RECA is renewed AND expanded to provide justice for those impacted by US nuclear activity.

Tell your U.S. Congress Members to support affected RECA communities suffering from U.S. nuclear activity!

Subject: We Must STILL Support RECA

Message:

Americans are suffering from US nuclear bomb-making and blasts—The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act is morally, economically, and legally needed to compensate those who have paid the price with their and their families' health. I urge you to support the reauthorization and expansion of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), despite its recent expiration without a vote. RECA has been a crucial lifeline for many individuals and communities impacted by radiation exposure due to nuclear testing and uranium mining. Its expiration leaves countless victims and their families without necessary assistance and recognition for their suffering. While the failure to vote on RECA last week is deeply disappointing, it is imperative that we do not abandon those in need. I urge you to prioritize the reauthorization of RECA in upcoming legislative sessions and advocate for its swift passage. By renewing RECA, we can ensure that affected individuals receive the compensation and support they deserve. Your leadership and commitment to this issue are vital in making a tangible difference in the lives of many. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
