Kudos to these Garden State residents!
From the Hudson Reporter:
The Jersey City Council has unanimously tabled an ordinance to approve the upgrade and installation of 72 utility poles which the council says will include 5G technology after members of the public spoke against the ordinance.
The critics cited a lack of transparency, lack of notice, and lack of information as well as data expressing concerns on the possible health ramifications the technology could have on residents despite the Federal Communications Commission’s ruling that the technology is safe.
Resident and registered nurse Lucille Shah said she was against 5G utility pole installation.
“My children’s bedroom faces the street, and they can potentially be sleeping just a few feet away from a 5G tower,” she said, noting that the World Health Organization has yet to issue an opinion on the possible health impacts of the technology.
She said that several European countries have halted their installation until more studies have been concluded.
People worldwide DO NOT WANT 5G installed in their communities because of all the risks it poses to biological health (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), cybersecurity (see 1, 2), environmental health (see 1, 2, 3, 4), privacy (see 1, 2), safety, and more. Many cities and countries have taken action against it including banning it, issuing moratoriums, and passing ordinances (see 1, 2).
Thanks to these organizations for providing updated resources to Americans fighting 5G in their communities:
- 5G Free California transcript and summary for “Ask the Lawyers – How to Stop 5G”
- Americans for Responsible Technology sample 5G installation municipal code ordinance and petition.
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) is supposed to protect Americans by regulating the telecom history. Despite opposition and warnings, they are using the pandemic as an excuse to speed up 5G installation (see 1, 2. 3, 4, 5). This includes launching tens of thousands of satellites with millions of antennas to blast 5G and WiFi at us from space (see 1, 2, 3). Lawsuits have been filed against them for NOT protecting Americans from unsafe levels of radiation (see 1, 2) and 5G (see 1, 2, 3).
