Bob fought so hard for the RECA expansion. I met him and his sweet wife Kitty a little over a decade ago when they came to STL to do a Town Hall about the radioactive sites in STL.
The life of Bob Alvarez, long-time champion of reducing health threats of nuclear weapons and power, is described in the New York Times obituary, July 18, 2025. nytimes.com/2025/07/18/us/…
My daughter Sophie is in DC on her own meeting with @SenHawleyPress @HawleyMO to help advocate + spread the word about RECA. For as long as she remembers, this issue has been a part of her life through me. Today, she grabbed the reigns! These two staff members helped save lives!
And yet the US Government wants us to give them another 10+ years to finish finding/cleaning up the radioactive waste! NOPE! They need to get out here and expedite the clean up now! They should treat it like they would an oil spill and deploy a team!

Senator @HawleyMO became a champion for not just Missouri, but for all the other RECA communities across the Nation. The amazing advocacy and work Maggie and other members of the Navajo Nation took on is inspiring. I’m so proud of our RECA family!

The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act has passed and expanded to include parts of the St. Louis region. @Justmomsstl's co-founders Karen Nickel and @DawnChapmanSTL tell me, their fight now is to inform survivors.
✅ @FoxNews: Hawley touts provision in Big, Beautiful Bill that has even hard-left Democrats celebrating 🎉
This story and these photos truly captured the beauty and power of our entire RECA family! This was Maggie speaking. Her father was a Navajo code talker. She told me the moment she handed Sen. @HawleyMO the photo of her parents, she felt they finally had justice and could rest.
Yesterday was powerful.
MO US Sen Josh is speaking about the passage of the Radioactive Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). He’s joined by local activists, elected leaders, the president of the Navajo Nation & others who fought for compensation for people sickened by exposure to radiation. @KMOV

Way to go Dawnie! @DawnChapmanSTL
"I can't believe that today is real," Dawn Chapman with Just Moms STL said. "This fight was so hard. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do." "Our government made it harder," she said. "They did everything they could to hide the truth from us." ksdk.com/article/news/p…

Thanks @AGAndrewBailey for your vigilance

Everyone deserves to have their lives saved. Questioning which group of people are more deserving of help while one group is standing next to the creek that poisoned them hurt deeply for some. It wasn’t the intention of the press or done on purpose- they recognize that. Still :(
Sen Josh Hawley called Medicaid cuts "morally wrong" & "politically suicidal." He said the "big beautiful bill" would eventually force rural hospitals to close. He called for a tax policy that is more fair to workers and families than corporations. So why'd he vote for this?
Thank you @mallorythomastv! Your amazing and consistent reporting has helped us get to where we are.
I’ve spoken with people who live in the zip codes and didn’t even know about RECA. This legislation is impacting many families across the region. More info: fox2now.com/news/missouri/…
