Local Elected officials who have signed onto Resolution S.323

These Back from the Brink inspired Resolutions in the House and Senate call on the United States government to lead the way to a future that is free from the existential threat of nuclear weapons and war. Western Mass Hub is actively engaging our local elected officials to sign-on the campaign’s letter to the Congress, insisting that the U.S. must seek to enter negotiations with the other nuclear-armed states for a verifiable, enforceable agreement to eliminate all nuclear arsenals.

These federal resolutions make clear that the U.S. must implement safeguards to reduce the danger of nuclear war while these negotiations take place:

• Taking U.S. nuclear weapons off hair-trigger alert

• Ending the President’s sole, unchecked authority to launch nuclear weapons

• Renouncing the option of using nuclear weapons first

• Canceling plans to replace the entire U.S. nuclear arsenal with enhanced weapons.
