Provide adequate resources to address the health crisis in Vieques and fully clean up the island  by Roots Action.
 

 

TAKE ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE UNITED STATES CITIZENS OF THE ISLAND OF VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO

We, the US Citizens of Vieques, are extremely sick with Cancer, Diabetes, Cirrhosis, & Hypertension caused by the military’s environmental contamination since WWII. Thousands have died & will die from the heavy metals, agent orange, napalm, & other toxic compounds found on the Island. We have claims against the Secretary of Health for the negligent science & damaging conclusions reached by the ATSDR. We need a hospital, a research center to understand the effects of the toxins, & compensation to rebuild our lives. We must address the critical health issues, the environmental contamination, & the economic & property injustice suffered by the Citizens. Please instruct the Secretary of Health to settle our claims & work with us to solve this crisis & save our children.
