How Hawley Fights for STL’s Nuclear Cleanup

In this video, I will explore how U.S. Senator Josh Hawley is fighting for the St. Louis community that has been suffering from radioactive contamination for decades. I will show you how Hawley has introduced legislation to create a fund for the victims of nuclear waste exposure and to mandate the cleanup of contaminated sites in the region. I will also share the stories of some of the residents who have developed rare cancers or autoimmune disorders due to the nuclear waste left behind by the Manhattan Project. This is a story of negligence, injustice, and courage that you don’t want to miss.
