#Justice Vieques MAKE THE CALLS!
The bipartisan Vieques Recovery and Redevelopment Act (S.1656) is ready (backed by Senators Wicker and Gillibrand). It’ll compensate residents, accelerate cleanup, and get hospitals online.
Add it to the NDAA this week!
No excuses!
Authorization first; funding can follow.

Two inter joined hearts, one made of the Puerto Rican flag and the other of the American flag
Puerto Rico is American soil!
🇵🇷🇺🇸
But it’s the same authoritarian playbook Trump is running in US cities: declare a threat, send in troops, roll back rights, occupy territory.
Vieques is a humanitarian crisis AND a test run for militarized fascism inside our borders.

This text describes the devastating effects of the marine who was poisoned in Vieques Puerto Rico.
You don’t put U.S. troops on a toxic munitions dump.
Six months ago Veterans affairs admitted Navy bombings poisoned Vieques — a Marine exposed to arsenic, lead, napalm & depleted uranium is 100% disabled.
Thune & Wicker- add the Vieques Recovery Act to the NDAA THIS WEEK.

Puerto Rico is being set up to be a wasteland.
Vieques was bombed and poisoned for decades under the same excuses we’re hearing from Pete Hegseth today. The result was toxic soil, poisoned water, and cancer rates off the charts. Generations paid the price for America’s war games.

Headline from AP: Hegseth and Caine visit Puerto Rico as US steps up military operations in the Caribbean
This is colonial abuse. The U.S. poisoned Vieques, made Puerto Ricans sick, and ignored it for decades.
Now Trump wants to militarize it to "fight cartels".
Call Senator Wicker & Leader Thune & tell them to add the Vieques Recovery Act to the NDAA! (202) 224-3121
