If they do not give you the addresses of proposed locations (they may say they do not have them because they do not have applications on them) for sWTFS, you may need to use Google Maps search and zoom in from satellite view on the approximate locations. Use these addresses as your first target locations to pass out flyers and get more volunteer support. Those who are the most affected will be the most effective in creating change.

3. Start a petition. Do NOT use Change.org (like I did) as they do not let you keep the emails, which could be future plaintiffs. Example of a petition text here.

4. Copy and paste a letter (5GCrisis.com sample or MAA example ) to your neighbors, or write our own, regarding this issue and invite them to come to the hearing, join your group and sign your petition.

5. Attend the City Planning Commissioner's public hearing and sign up to speak on a topic which is either on the agenda or not (either way you get 3 minutes). Practice what you will, timed, so you know you can complete your point in 3 minutes. Keep it concise and focused on what you are asking them to do. Ideally, have 6 -10 people who will each cover one or two of these 10 points. Make hard copies for each of the City Commissioners and staff for legal record submission and give them to the City Secretary before you speak.

6. Follow up the meeting with city staff with professional, short emails with important news regarding other cities denying 4/5G, lawsuits or new studies. Do NOT inundate them, respect their time. Request a 1-hour study session so that you may present information to the City Council. If your City Planning Commissioners deny the applications, the issue goes to City Council If they agree to update their ordinance, the City Council must vote on the ordinance and do two full readings with no changes.

7. Contact your local school district superintendent and ask if there are any recent or pending wireless telecommunication upgrades. Stop 5G and Intensified Wireless Technology in Schools Call to action letter - Click here.

* Please note when we say Stop 5G we do not mean the upgraded 4G service that T Mobile calls “5G” for marketing purposes. We mean the 5G infrastructure with 5G millimeter waves that is designed to be an "Internet of Things” or “Smart” City/“Smart” Grids. The telecom companies intend for your “smart” phone to be able to "talk" to your “smart” TV, refrigerator, car, and store when you shop.

Constant surveillance of citizens will also be possible through the uploading of your data. Because the 5G millimeter waves reach a shorter distance, the Telecom companies claim they require 4/5G facilities every 500 feet in a city (or closer - on every lamp post) and 12-25 feet from your home.
