For instance, in the United States, we could push congress to pass S.200 "Restricting First Use of Nuclear Weapons" https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/200 https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-bill/200 We can also push towards minimal deterrence first and then organize a multilateral disarmament.
