Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Conversion to Climate and Social Programs

This bill aims to direct the United States to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. If other nuclear-armed nations begin verifiable elimination of their weapons, funding for U.S. nuclear programs would be redirected to address the climate crisis, including clean energy development, and to meet human and infrastructure needs like healthcare, housing, and education. This could lead to new job opportunities in green industries and improved public services.
Key points
The U.S. aims to sign a treaty banning nuclear weapons, potentially enhancing global security.
Nuclear weapons funding would be reallocated to develop renewable energy and combat climate change, potentially creating new jobs and improving air quality.
Funds could also support healthcare, housing, education, and environmental restoration, directly impacting citizens' daily lives.
