REPAIR lecture on November 11th: Nuclear reparations 80 years later

New Mexico is the birthplace of nuclear weapons and the site of the first nuclear bomb detonation on earth – the ‘Trinity Test’. 80 years after the test, a decades-long fight for justice has resulted in a win for some affected New Mexico communities. The Trinity Downwinders, unwitting victims of radioactive fallout from the blast, are now entitled to payments under the ‘Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA)’ - a nuclear harm reparations programme.

In this presentation, downwinder and grassroots activist Tina Cordova will reflect on her experience fighting for her community which has suffered serious and multi-generational consequences of nuclear harm.
