https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcldeuhrDItHtHSz4DbrVwAxaJeP--XwsU9

25% of NYC residents are saying "NO" to 5G Towers.  We need to say "NO" to federal telecom bills that will wipe out our successes.

Agenda:

4:00-4:03  Hello's and Introductions

4:04-4:25  Field Updates

4:25-4:45  Updates on setting up meetings w/ fed electeds

4:46-5:30  Updates on bill movements / new bills

5:31-6:00  Next steps

Congress and the Senate go back in session on Sept 9, 2024, and the bills will be moving quickly.  So we need to stem that movement until they amend the bills.

We are now scheduling meetings with federal Representatives and Senators for the weeks of August 27th and the first two weeks of September.  

Our U.S. legislators are voting to pass federal telecom bills that will wipe out all of our successes in opposing the 5G Towers in NYC.  We need to change that. 

We need to give our federal legislators the information they need to oppose these bills.  Please schedule a meeting with your federal Rep's telecom staffer "to discuss the federal telecom bills and bridging the digital divide."  

Let us know and two experts on the bills will accompany you to the meeting. Just bring yourself, other constituents and local officials (if possible) to the meeting, and talk about your experiences on the local level – opposition to the 5G Towers, city council meetings, health impact, articles, etc.  

Please set up meetings now with your Rep and 2 Senators.  Ask for the telecom staffer to discuss the federal telecom bills and bridging the digital divide.

Just contact your U.S. Representative and Senators.  At the meeting, Charles Frohman, lobbyist for the National Health Federation, and Odette will discuss the bills. You just bring yourself, other constituents and local officials (if possible) to the meeting, and talk about your experiences on the local level - protests, city council meetings, health impact, articles, etc.
