5G COMMUNITY ACTION
Taking back control of our communities to
block 5G cell tower installations
“Children have a fundamental human right to be free from
addiction, exposures, and exploitation in the digital world”
“Children have a fundamental human right to be free from addiction, exposures, and exploitation in the digital world”
In the fall of 2019, a friend of mine nearly drove off the road one morning in her Philadelphia neighborhood when she discovered that 5G cells had been put up overnight on the streets.
And this is the decade telecom plans to roll out 5G to blanket the nation. In November 2019, the telecom industry admitted in a US Senate committee hearing that there has been no testing of the safety of 5G and its effect on humans or any plant or animal on Planet Earth.
The telecom industry, interested only in profits, hasn’t done any safety tests, but the U.S. DoD Wirelesss Safety Standards had done so before there was any commercial interest. The Soviets conducted over 800 studies on non-ionizing radiation effects in workplaces from 1960 to early ‘90s. The Russians will NOT allow commercial access to 5G, instead keeping it for military channels.
Moms Will Stop This…
Like gravity, radiation is a physical element that doesn’t change over time. All the studies done earlier are relevant. Only the density of sources has multiplied, increasing the intensity of our exposure.
Federal agencies aren’t protecting the public. It’s going to be Moms who can– and are– stopping this!
In November 2023, doctors, lawyers, and scientists jointly issued this declaration for children:
The Declaration of Children’s Rights for the Digital Age–
“Children have a fundamental human right to be free from addiction, exposures, and exploitation in the digital world.”

Clear your Home
First, reduce the sources of EMF in your home. If it’s labeled “Smart” there’s a chip in it, and it’s beaming out to a “Smart” electric meter. If you’ve shielded that meter or had it replaced with the analog meter, the device in the home is still transmitting EM signals. Tracking this is going to require a RF meter –even the talking Barbie has a chip and is emitting EMR! Then shield devices at home and with a family consultation set boundaries of location and time spent on electronic devices.
Now you’re ready to turn your attention to the larger community—and prevent a 5G cell tower from being installed in front of your home, your neighborhood, your town and the school district.
Clear evidence of citizen impact on the Telecom invasion happened in the 118th Congress ( Jan. ’23-‘25). Of the 90 bills from Telecom introduced in the House, only 20 passed in committees, and four were voted on the floor and became law.
One of the bills that passed threatens wildlife and the nation’s quiet spaces that are refuge for people and the animals. It allows federal land managers to deploy cell towers on recreational areas of federal lands, which includes national parks, national forests, wildlife refuges, and rangelands.
The bill that was most threatening to our health and our communities
HR 3557, didn’t make it to the floor of the House. This bill presented the greatest threat since 1996 to local governments’ decision-making over the placement of cell towers and other wireless facilities. It would have virtually eliminated all local discretion over placement of antennas.
It was lobbying by a coalition of organizations concerned with safe technology (moms, you were there!), and government rights’ groups such as the National Association of Counties, U.S. Conference of Mayors, and National League of Cities.
HR3557 was passed in the committee with all Republicans voting in favor. Already in the new Congress, two bills that are offshoots of HR3557 have been introduced in committee.
The battle for local authority on where and if cell towers will be permitted is not over and is being decided every day in town meetings.
How to Rally Your Community
Connect with Parent Groups
Bolster your confidence—reclaim your parental power—by connecting to one (or more) of the parent (moms) groups that have burst out in social media in recent months– since 2024—When you discover (or create another group, let us know, and we’ll add it here!
The social media groups below are a great start for you.
And a big shout-out for the social activist group Moms Across America. I will defer the details of speaking to governing councils and fully directing a cell tower activist campaign to this organization.
State or City Parent Groups for Safe Tech
A number of States have parent groups, particularly Moms, already have organized to inform and instruct the community on why and how to live more safely with our modern technology. Some examples are North Carolina and Massachusetts. Do a search for: Stop 5G (in State or City) or (City) Citizens for Safe Technology.
Start a new group and give yourselves a name that reflects how you feel about this topic! There are 59 million Americans who are Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitive (EHS)—and the number is growing hourly as 5G is rolled out. EHS is a disability recognized by the American Disability Act.
Local Government Office
Investigate which office in your community is responsible for making decisions regarding telecom applications, maybe the City Planning Commissioners. (See options in Facebook group Moms Across Amerlca).
Contact that office to inquire on what is the status of telecom applications. Plan to attend any hearings and be prepared to present info at the meeting—Get on the Agenda, preferably several Moms each giving a 2-3 minute presentation on one part of the EMR situation.
Connect with the Schools
The most obvious organization is the Parent-Teacher Assn. but while you are connecting with parents through other social avenues, the State Education Associations will be a direct connection with the teachers and school administrators.
The classroom teachers, like their students, are subjected to the day-long bombardment of a room full of cell phones, computers, and even routers in some cases (which are extremely dangerous and unnecessary in every room—3 routers will provide coverage for 750 students).
Find your State affiliate to the National Education Assn, visit www.NEA.org
Every fall more schools are banning access to cell phones during the school day. The decision to do so are from the school district or the State in some cases. Virginia, for example. The reasons are that attention to devices distracts from learning and the mental health of the children.
Interestingly, I haven’t yet seen exposure to continuous Non-Ionizing Radiation (NIR) as a reason for banning use of cell phones in the classroom. If iPhones aren’t put into Airplane Mode, instead of turned OFF, they will continue connecting to the cell tower unless the phone is put into a Faraday pack. And the NIR is the cause of many of the health problems.
Here’s a link to a Letter to Legislators asking for cell phone restrictions in schools. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdGQlK1toDh4ISQ44VGYiQ0skmejuGZPQjYjZnFp-Uu2U4zDg/viewform
Engage nationally
TheNationalCall.org – a coalition of organizations in North America and Europe where you can connect with others, learn actions to take, find support for your efforts, and participate in something larger—and very effective!
If you haven’t the bandwidth for anything else, signing up with this organization and making the occasional phone call requested to elected representatives will make you feel like you are doing something to affect this e-smog environment.
The People’s Initiative Foundation – concerns safe schools, lawsuits, a broad range of issues that require citizen action for a safer, more just world
California Brain Tumor Assn -A full coverage of the issue of brain cancer and cell phones.
If a succinct source of the science and medical impact of EMF/EMR would be a useful resource in your lobbying, this will be helpful. In 2021, a EMF Medical Conference was held virtually with physicians and scientists from around the globe invited to add their expertise to this body of knowledge.

Keep in touch!
Share what you’re doing–your success and your challenges–on this site’s Facebook group and your personal FB page. Let your friends and family know your concern and your actions. Improving this E-smog we’re living in must be a group effort! We all learn from each other, and we can share our experiences and our efforts.
If you don’t have any social media accounts then use the form below and write to us and share what you’re doing! I will share it in broader communication with the world!
