URGENT: Take Action TODAY on Two Pro-Wireless California Bills
Published: Sun, 05/21/23
Hi ,
Please see this urgent alert from the Environmental Health Trust regarding two bills that would fast track cell towers in California - and make sure to take action ASAP!:
Act TODAY To Stop Aggressive Cell Tower Proliferation in California!
Two New Fast-Track Bills in California Threaten Neighborhoods -- Other States Will Follow
California state bills AB 965 and AB 1065 would
fast track cell towers, 5G and wireless antenna sites near homes and schools.
These bills are being rammed through the California Legislature.
Action is needed TODAY as the vote on AB 965 could be on Monday!
AB 965 allows Telecoms to bundle 50 Cell Tower 5G and wireless “small” cell
applications -- submitting them at the same time and imposing strict deadlines for local authorities to approve them. If localities don't approve in the allotted time, all Cell Towers will automatically be "deemed approved."
AB 1065 gives Wireless Companies access to taxpayer funds set up for faster, safer, more reliable, and more
secure Fiber to truly close the Digital Divide. It's a sneaky bill -- two little sentences inserted into existing law that will un-level the playing field, resulting in hundreds more Cell Towers in more neighborhoods. This means:
Huge increases in energy draw compared to
Fiber
Lowered property values
increased fire risk
These bills will take away public hearings and sufficient time for local consideration of safety factors. The community will be cut out from the decision-making process!
Please use our fast-and-easy email automation tool below NOW to send an email now in OPPOSITION to these two bills. Thank you!
Please know: The norm is after California passes
legislation, it gets rolled out to other states. So please forward this to all your contacts to spread the word to California residents.

TAKE ACTION
