S 2333 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

Resolutions memorializing the Massachusetts Delegation, and the United States Congress, on the need for general support of NATO, and public education regarding this subject matter

This bill asks the Massachusetts legislature to formally express support for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and request that the state delegation and U.S. Congress maintain this backing. It highlights the organization's role since 1949 in securing peace in the North Atlantic region and notes that many allies have fought alongside the United States in recent conflicts. The resolution also calls for increased public education about the values and benefits of U.S. membership in NATO. Ultimately, it serves as a symbolic statement of support rather than creating new laws or funding.
