Subject: Urgent: Vote YES on S. 3853 to Reauthorize and Strengthen RECA

Message:

Hello, As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to vote YES on S. 3853, which seeks to reauthorize and strengthen the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) before it expires at the end of this week. RECA is vital for providing justice to communities that were exposed to radiation during the Manhattan Project and the Cold War. Many of these communities have been fighting for decades to receive the compensation and recognition they deserve. The government’s nuclear testing, production, and uranium mining activities exposed countless individuals to harmful radiation. RECA is the essential remedy to address this historical injustice. By voting in favor of S. 3853, you will help to: • Include Previously Excluded Communities: Many affected communities have been excluded from RECA's coverage. This bill will expand the scope to ensure these communities are finally acknowledged and compensated for the harm they endured. • Increase Compensation Amounts: The current compensation amounts under RECA are insufficient to address the extensive health and economic impacts suffered by the affected individuals. S. 3853 proposes increasing these amounts to more appropriately reflect the severity of the damage done. • Uphold Bipartisan Support: In March of this year, the Senate passed S. 3853 with strong bipartisan support. It is now crucial for the House to follow suit and ensure this important program continues. Please ensure that this vital program is not allowed to lapse. The communities that have suffered due to radiation exposure deserve justice, and your YES vote on Senate Bill 3853 is a significant step towards providing it. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
