Green Sunday June 9 at 5pm: 5G Cell Antennas – Bad for Bees & other Beings!

Over 20 California cities have adopted measures to restrict the rollout of 5th Generation close proximity “small” cell antennas on every block.

Panel Discussion featuring health educator Sarah Aminoff, scientist Lloyd Morgan, and author Gar Smith.  Don’t miss the audience discussion that follows!

If it proceeds as Big Telecom plans, 5G will adversely affect privacy, safety, property values, weather prediction, etc.  

There are far superior alternatives, cable and fiber optic, which are more reliable, more secure, faster, and more affordable.

Next Sunday June 9, 5:00 to 6:30 PM

Niebyl-Proctor Library, 6501 Telegraph Ave., near Alcatraz, Oakland

Sarah Aminoff taught freshman first year experience at Sonoma State University and health education at City College of SF, College for Teens, as well as being a K-12 educator.  With United Educators of SF, she worked on a safer technology campaign for SF schools in collaboration with Environmental Health Trust’s educational campaigns on children’s health. She is the EMF Project Coordinator for FACTS (Families Advocating for Chemical & Toxics Safety) and is a member of the California Alliance for Safer Technology, a consortium of health and environmental advocates, physicians, non-profit leaders, attorneys and government officials, as well as Americans for Responsible Technology.  Successful campaigns include Sierra Club CA Conservation Committee voting to oppose 5G without environmental review or local control.  Ms. Aminoff will add a dynamic power point presentation to the 5G discussion.  

The event will be live streamed and archived on the Green Party of Alameda County facebook page.
