ACTION ALERTS:

1. Help Fund the Cell Tower Fight in Grass Valley

   Verizon is suing the Nevada County Board of Supervisors after they approved a resident’s appeal against a cell tower on Dog Bar Road and denied the permit. A Federal judge granted the resident’s right to join the lawsuit as a defendant. She has garnered the support of neighbors and concerned citizens throughout the county, but needs our help in raising funds for attorney fees.

3. Join 704 No More™

Section 704 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act and other FCC preemptive actions enforce the FCC’s outdated Radio Frequency Radiation guidelines, ignoring mounting evidence of harm, particularly to children. These laws and preemptive actions also strip away our personal freedoms and property rights, and override the states’ traditional police powers that protect our health and welfare. 704 No More™ is a nationwide, nonpartisan coalition effort to restore state and local control over cell tower and antenna siting. Section 704 undermines public health, environmental protections, and individual rights. Protect children’s health and the environment by taking back local control of cell towers.
