CORRECTION

• In our last email Nicholas Martin from our UK counterparts says they are launching a legal case aimed at street lights since they have a frequency of light of 50 nanometers and small cell antenna/5G; These street lights have a frequency of 450 NANOMETERS (not 50 as previously written). 
  • The British government doesn't contest the science illustrating this light is bad, so the government can't argue with this. We will be sure to circulate information when it is made available!

MORE TO SHARE

• Check out this powerful song called "Undeniable", written by Americans for Responsible Technology's Doug Wood, and performed by acclaimed singer Eden White. It's a song dedicated to the tens of millions of moms who put the health and safety of their kids ahead of the profits of the wireless industry. https://youtu.be/-qsxYMlUCA0

• We want to share this helpful collection of links (attached) created by Russ Witte, PhD (in Arizona), which was found on Facebook. These are his favorite peer-reviewed and government studies in one organized PDF! Thank you, Dr. Witte.
