Rocky Flats Downwinders

Rocky Flats Downwinders Dedicated to contacting and connecting former residents who lived near Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons In July 2017, we were granted 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.

Rocky Flats Downwinders is a community organization founded in 2015 advocating on behalf of those impacted by living downwind from the former Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant near Arvada, Colorado. The organization came together through common concern about the high rate of illness suffered by former residents in the Arvada, Broomfield, Thornton and surrounding areas. Our main goals are to bring

about awareness of Rocky Flats in order to educate the community, to sensitize medical professionals regarding potential adverse health effects suffered by Downwinders, and to offer supportive services for Downwinders.
