Senate Resolution 323 is a non-binding resolution calling on the President to pursue global nuclear disarmament and prevent nuclear war. The resolution urges the United States to lead international negotiations with all nuclear-armed nations to halt and reverse nuclear weapons buildups, citing scientific evidence that even limited nuclear war could cause catastrophic global climate disruption and famine. The resolution emphasizes specific policy changes, including ending the "hair-trigger alert" posture that keeps missiles ready for launch within minutes, implementing checks on presidential authority to use nuclear weapons unilaterally, scrapping plans for new nuclear warheads, and maintaining the existing moratorium on nuclear testing. Additionally, it calls for environmental cleanup and health care support for communities and workers harmed by past nuclear weapons production and testing. The resolution is particularly urgent given that the last major treaty limiting U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals expires in February 2026, and it emphasizes that current U.S. plans to modernize nuclear forces are projected to cost over $750 billion through 2032.
