The following resolutions were drafted by LASG & given to the Santa Fe City Council (SFCC) at their meeting on Feb 26, 2020. Please write to your SFCC representative, or the entire council, & ask them to sponsor & vote in support of these resolutions!

1) Prohibiting the City of Santa Fe from entering into any development agreement involving any nuclear weapons agencies or their instrumentalities.

2)
Requesting a Site-Wide Environmental Impact Statement (SWEIS) for the proposed expansion of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), including the proposed expansion of plutonium missions

We call for sanity, not nuclear production, a LASG campaign for businesses & organizations to endorse. Let's build the momentum! Share this link around to your lists!
