Local Elected officials who have signed onto Resolution S.323

These Back from the Brink-supported Resolutions in the Senate and House 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. As a local elected official, you have an important role to play in encouraging our federally elected leaders to support S. 323 and H.R 317. Already over 12 locally elected leaders in the Pioneer Valley have endorsed this letter to our federal leaders.

If you are a locally elected leader, we hope you will consider signing this letter of support.

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.
