France (AGIR POUR L'ENVIRONNEMENT) : ⚠️ ALERTE: Vous n’auriez pas dû partir en vacances…
U.S (WIN WITHOUT WAR) : "OPPENHEIMER" reminds us of the need for justice.
It’s official, friend : Oppenheimer has brought the story of nuclear weapon development to millions of people.
But we know there’s a story that continues beyond the film — and it’s one of poisoned air and land, lifelong illness, and generations of suffering because of decades of U.S. nuclear testing.
For more than 30 years, the Radiation Exposure and Compensation Act (RECA) has provided healthcare and compensation to people exposed to radiation from nuclear testing and uranium mining. Unfortunately, the program has gaping holes in coverage and too many are excluded.
The good news is that on Thursday the Senate included provisions to extend and expand RECA in a must-pass bill : the NDAA. But this campaign is far from over, because this legislation still needs more support from across Congress if we want to see it become law. That’s why for the past week, advocates and activists have been up and down Capitol Hill working hard to keep up the pressure. Today, you can join with them, no matter where you are.
If we want to see RECA help more people poisoned by the U.S. government’s nuclear testing, the time to act is NOW. Can you add your name to the petition we’re sending to Congress calling to extend and expand RECA ?
| ACT NOW |
The truth is, the real cost of nuclear weapons testing and development that so many people have borne cannot be repaid. But we can, and should, seek justice for them and their loved ones.
Indigenous communities, the miners who spent their days extracting uranium, the countless veterans, and many others simply living in the areas were unknowingly exposed to nuclear tests — and many still suffer long-term health impacts. Many cannot afford the healthcare they desperately need.
Some are no longer with us, their lives cut tragically short. Consider “downwinders” like Ed Pattillo, a resident of Mohave County, Arizona, who, along with thousands of others across the southwestern United States, was exposed to radiation and died having never received support or acknowledgement by the U.S. government. Why ? Because lower Mohave County hasn’t been recognized as an area affected by nuclear testing. Upper Mohave County has.
This is the human toll of our past nuclear activities. This is the injustice we are fighting against, every day.
Oppenheimer won’t tell you these stories, but the film's release has created a crucial, made-in-Hollywood opportunity to demand justice. That’s why we're joining with partners across the movement to expand RECA to cover more people who suffer because of U.S. nuclear testing — and you can help by sending a letter now.
This is the moment to act — for the health, well-being, and justice of those harmed by radiation exposure. Let's support expanding RECA, and in doing so, let's show up for human rights, justice, and a more equitable future.
Thank you for working for peace,
Faith, Shayna, Amy, and the Win Without War team.

U.S (HIP HOP CAUCUS) : HIP HOP CAUCUS 🤝The AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION.
|
Friend,
Just ahead of the 50th anniversary of hip hop, Hip Hop Caucus is partnering with the American Bar Association (ABA) to highlight the intersection of the culture with the fight for social justice. Hip Hop Caucus is joining the ABA for a 4-part web series that highlights the impact of Hip Hop with a focus on civil rights. We’re ready to interrogate the ways the legal system has helped and harmed Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, and lay forth a path to address these issues and move toward equality. Rev Yearwood was just featured on the ABA’s Chair Chat series to share the history of Hip Hop Caucus. They cover everything from voting rights to environmental and economic justice, and discuss the critical role lawyers play in social justice areas that intersect with the hip hop genre.

U.S (NATIVE ORGANIZERS ALLIANCE ACTION FUND): CONGRESS must Pass the OLIGARCH ACT to reduce income inequality.
Friend,
Economic inequality in the U.S. continues to grow, year over year, with more and more going to the richest 1%.[1] In our democracy where wealth equals power, that power seeks to take away our sovereign rights, seeks to destroy Mother Earth for corporate profit, and seeks to limit and take away our voting rights.
This growing concentration of wealth threatens our right to self-governance and sovereignty. Tribal nations, urban Indian communities -- we all need a wealth tax that levels the playing field for Native people and working people everywhere. That’s why we’ve joined with our allies, urging Congress to pass the OLIGARCH Act -- a progressive tax on extreme wealth that can begin to address growing levels of inequality.
Extreme inequality is a direct result of extreme wealth concentration. So, as inequality rises, those with the most money will pay more. But as inequality is reduced, this wealth tax will come down.
Here’s how it works :
-
2% tax on all wealth between 1,000 and 10,000 times median household wealth;
-
4% tax on all wealth between 10,000 and 100,000 times median household wealth;
-
6% tax on all wealth between 100,000 and 1,000,000 times median household wealth;
-
8% tax on all wealth over 1,000,000 times median household wealth.
Extreme wealth equals extreme power. We’re working to strengthen Native rights and sovereignty and that starts by placing restraints on the very wealthiest households.
Hawwih (“thank you” in Caddo) for taking action today,
Judith LeBlanc (Caddo)
Executive Director.
