Theodora Scarato, director of the Wireless and EMF Program for Environmental Health Sciences, urges Americans to contact the FCC and demand the agency reject new rules that would strip local communities of their right to have a say in where telecom companies build new cell towers.

CELL TOWER REMOVED! Please watch and share this powerful video.

"This is property rights. This is happening in neighborhoods everywhere. We're not against 5G. We're just saying it should not be affecting property values in the neighborhoods.”

McFrederick believes AT&T has agreed to move it's 5G equipment due to a combination of help from lawyers, State Rep. Linda Chaney, Florida Realtors and media coverage.

“I really think it was part of you all, Spectrum News… you brought us a lot of attention,” she said. “Representative Linda Cheney really did help us connect with AT&T… and definitely with the power of the Florida Realtors.”

Your help is needed. Please help stop cell towers next to your home. This dangerous bill, HR2289, just advanced in Congress 11/18/25. It will virtually eliminate local zoning discretion, automatically approve antennas on almost any structure, allow 200-foot cell towers in your neighbor’s yard – not even in the public right-of-way, FCC can cancel local zoning ordinances, and eliminates almost all environmental and historic preservation reviews.

Please take a few SECONDS to sign a letter to your representatives to tell them to oppose HR2289. The letter is already filled out; all you have to do is sign.

We'd be forever grateful if you'd turn the tower off so we could come home for the holidays.

Pretty please with gravy on top.

"Perhaps the most notable way in which (this case) is different is that the plaintiffs argue their injuries are not speculative. Rather, through an “exhaustive” 18-month investigation, the Pittsfield Board of Health has at least preliminarily verified that the harms they have suffered — headaches, sleep problems, heart palpitations, ringing in the ears, dizziness, nausea, skin rashes, and memory and cognitive problems — are real.

However, those same Board of Health members now comprise the defendants in Gilardi, after the board rescinded, without prejudice, a cease-and-desist order it had issued to the operator of the wireless tower, Verizon.

The board’s reversal was prompted by Verizon filing a federal lawsuit, which sought a declaratory judgment that the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 47 U.S.C. §332(c)(7)(B)(iv), prohibits state and local governments from regulating personal wireless service facilities based on the perceived health effects of radio frequency emissions, as long as they comply with the relevant Federal Communications Commission regulations.

Once the cease-and-desist was rescinded, Verizon voluntarily dismissed its federal suit as moot. The board then adopted Verizon’s argument when it was sued in Berkshire Superior Court by six residents who live near the tower in Pittsfield’s “Shacktown” neighborhood.

Those residents challenged the board’s rescission of its order as arbitrary, capricious and not supported by substantial evidence."

From Nov 25, 2021, "Another community called us last night, sick after their cell tower went active. We are not grateful for the symptoms associated with living next to one and neither are they."

We are grateful for your care, love, support and learning about these issues.

Twenty landmarks in 11 Canadian provinces were lit up in yellow to spread awareness of EHS/ MCS disease and advocate for policies that improve the living conditions of the stricken people.

The yellow color was chosen from the canary bird that is often used as a symbol. In olden days, miners took canaries with them down into underground mines, as the birds would become silent and pass out as a warning of dangerous fumes. Likewise, people with MCS and EHS are a warning of today’s unhealthy environment.

I'm seriously sobbing reading this. Even leglislative buildings were illuminated in yellow!

This means so much to those who have been injured by environmental toxins.

Thank you to our friends in Canada and around the world for their educational and advocacy efforts.

Together we will make it a more compassionate, safer, healthier world for all of us.
