PLEASE JOIN US! 🏃🏃🏃
We're having our Day in Court to stop County efforts to rubber stamp the uncontrolled and unprecedented rollout of cell towers in LA County!
TUESDAY, MARCH 12th @ 9:30 AM
THE RALLY STARTS AT 9:30am OUTSIDE THE
COURTHOUSE
Stanley Mosk Courthouse
111 N. Hill St., 8th Floor, Dept 85, Room 804, Downtown Los Angeles
PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT OUR LAWSUIT, your presence is all we're asking!
Numbers matter!
We need to show the Court there is Strong
Opposition!
Rally at 9:30am, signs will be provided. Then we will go into the courthouse.
(The Rally is critical even if you do not go into the courtroom)
In 2023 the LA County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance on final passage allowing the placement of cell antennas in any public right of way with NO notice, NO environmental review (CEQA) and NO right to appeal.
Because this county
ordinance circumvented or ignored long standing rights and protections, FFLA, an organization of concerned citizens, community organizers, safe tech groups, communications professionals, and lawyers, knew something needed to be done. So FFLA files a lawsuit against LA County.
THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE AND EXPENSIVE EFFORT!
This lawsuit has been
extremely expensive. We really need your help.
Please Donate any amount you can afford to our legal team, fiberfirstla.org
