Since the Cold War, the United States nuclear posture has generally remained static, characterized by an over-reliance on nuclear weapons in national security policy.  But does the existing US nuclear posture really keep us safe?  Daisy Alliance's Holly Lindamood will discuss how the national security framework guides US nuclear weapons policies, whether all aspects of US nuclear arsenal modernization plans are necessary, and the effects of current US policy on international security.  She will also propose meaningful policy changes the US can take to reduce reliance on nuclear weapons.

Holly Lindamood, Daisy Alliance’s Associate Director, is a former professor of international relations at Morehouse College, University of North Georgia, and University of West Georgia. Daisy Alliance’s mission is to reduce the risks posed by nuclear weapons by raising awareness on the humanitarian consequences of nuclear war.
