Rongelap Rising Alliance

The story isn’t over. We rise.

Rongelap families were displaced by nuclear testing. Today, many still live in uncertainty — on Mejatto Island, across the Marshall Islands, and throughout the diaspora.

We are building pathways for care, resources, cultural survival, and justice.

Community-led • Survivor-centered • Built for long-term impact

Displacement didn’t end. It changed form.

Decades after nuclear testing, Rongelap families are still living with the consequences. The need did not disappear — it evolved.
