The nuclear contamination in the area around Coldwater Creek is yet another example of how environmental racism deeply affects Black communities.

In Congress, I made sure we extended and expanded RECA for those who suffer long-term illnesses or lost loved ones as a result of the contamination.

Congress just passed a bill to take back $1.1 billion in public media funding. That includes money for more than 1,500 local stations — including STLPR. Next, the bill will be signed into law by the President, and this funding will be gone. Donate to secure the future of STLPR: buff.ly/9xpBGye

When STLPR informed him that Pérez Paz had been shot and killed alongside his wife, the attorney said it “doesn’t matter” before hanging up the phone.
“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...
