The Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium was started in 2005 to compile data on the cancers and other diseases that plague the communities surrounding the Trinity Test on July 16, 1945, and advocate for fair compensation for their conditions. On April 1 of this year, instead of holding their annual demonstration at the Trinity site, generally open for the day but closed this year because of COVID, Tina Cordova, Paul Pino and Bernice Gutierrez joined Nan Rubin in a conversation about the Downwinders and the recent Congressional hearing focusing on compensation for those exposed to radiation caused by above-ground nuclear testing.
