80 years ago today, the US government detonated the world’s first atomic bomb in New Mexico. This year, Trinity downwinders finally saw a measure of justice. 🌐nuclearweaponsjustice.org

We'll never forget the impact caused by the testing of the first nuclear bomb in NM. Today, I asked Defense Sec. Austin if an apology is in order & if he supports expanding compensation to include NM downwinders. He said yes to both. I agree and I won't stop fighting.

For 80 years, Downwinders in the Tularosa Basin never got the justice they deserved after the first atomic bomb was tested at the Trinity Site. Today, we are fighting to make sure every downwinder receives compensation through RECA and we never forget by passing H.R. 4290.

You know about the #AtomicBomb and now, because of the movie, you probably know more about #Oppenheimer - But have you heard of the Pino Family? Or the Burris Family? Or Tina Cordova and the New Mexico Downwinders? . They are a BIG part of the story that have been left out for decades. Their families lived near the #Trinity Test site in New Mexico and believe they were hugely impacted by the blast. Now they are fighting to get help after being left out of the #RECA Act by our government. . Learn more TONIGHT on @abcnewslive - Then @hulu later this week for a larger special ( #Fallout ) that includes a deep dive into #Uranium mines left abandoned on the #Navajo Nation. . As always - thanks to the amazing crew for all the help and hard work @brianti @sayabstract @seiyamashita #onassignment #worldwarii #history #atomicbomb #abcnews #journalism #newmexico #government #trending

‘Oppenheimer’ doesn’t tell the full story of the Trinity test. According to the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, thousands of families lived within 50 miles of the 1945 nuclear test, many of whom went on to deal with conditions including cancer, sterility, and birth defects. 🎥 by @itskimberlyrenee, created in collaboration with @greenmatters.

(Media Description: Kimberly Renee speaks to the camera, alongside images and footage from ‘Oppenheimer,’ as well as various documents about the Trinity test.)

People who live near atomic bomb test sites, known as “downwinders,” say they have suffered through generations of health issues and believe it all goes back to the radiation released by the bomb. @therealmireyavillarreal talks to them about their history, health and fight for compensation. Stream “Fallout: Two Nations Under Uranium” on @ABCNewsLive tomorrow at 8:30 PM ET.

Idaho families’ official recognition as ‘Downwinders’ under the expanded RECA program is a long-overdue victory for countless Idahoans who suffered in silence for decades. I recently spoke with KTVB about the importance of this expansion that has been twenty years in the making.

Revisited Arizona’s forgotten downwinders this week. Some of the first nuclear testing victims I spoke to two years ago have since passed. Now, their family members are carrying on the fight for justice, with renewed support for their plight with the release of Oppenheimer along with new legislation.
