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. Many of our US Representatives and Senators are in favor of these pro-telecom bills. We need to change that.
We have a new Congressional session, so the bills listed below would need to be reintroduced. You should still contact your US Rep and Senators to alert them as these bills will probably be resurrected with new bill numbers.
Speak out, while we still
can!
Contact your U.S. Rep / Senator this week.
