      We know about the 200k+ who died in the WWII bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki, and those who survived but suffered from radiation poisoning. But there are also Americans asking to be recognized as victims of the first atomic bomb, tested in New Mexico on 7/16/1945:https://twitter.com/kyodo_english/status/1117150210231160832 …

One woman alive today says she and her friends played in the ash that rained down during summer camppic.twitter.com/6LE5ETPf3c

      These "Downwind Defenders" who want New Mexicans to be included in the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act alongside Nevada Test Site victims who are already covered have several members of US Congress on their side: @CoryBooker @SenatorTomUdall @MikeCrapo @MartinHeinrich
