Episode 131 – What does it take to stand up to the U.S. government and demand justice?
In this episode, we share the inspiring story of Tina Cordova, a Cancer survivor and sixth-generation New Mexican who transformed personal tragedy into a decades-long fight for accountability. As co-founder of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, Tina helped bring national attention to the victims of radioactive fallout from the Trinity Test and fought for recognition, healthcare, and compensation for affected families.
This is a powerful story of resilience, community, and the pursuit of justice against overwhelming odds.
