## Summary

**Lead a global effort to halt and reverse the nuclear arms race.** This resolution would urge the President to pursue nuclear disarmament as a national security goal and to push concrete steps to lower the risk of nuclear war. - Families, communities, and workers: Calls for full cleanup of environmental contamination, health monitoring, compensation, and expansion of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act for people harmed by weapons research, testing, production, storage, or maintenance. - National security and risk reduction: Would direct the U.S. to engage in good faith negotiations with the other 8 nuclear-armed states to halt further buildups, pursue verifiable reductions, seek new arms-control agreements with Russia, engage China on mutual risk reduction, push all nuclear states to renounce first use, end hair-trigger alert, and implement checks on the President's sole authority to order nuclear strikes. - Economy and workforce: Seeks to end plans to produce and deploy new nuclear warheads and delivery systems which the resolution says would reduce the burden on taxpayers, and to actively plan a just economic transition for civilian and military workers and for communities economically dependent on nuclear facilities.
