5G Day of Action Rally, Wisconsin for Safe Technology, Greendale, Wisconsin
The Americans for Responsible Technology (ART), an association of more than 90 organizations, coordinated
a nationwide day of action on May 15, 2019 to protest the deployment of 5G in
the United States.
The purpose
of the demonstrations was to raise public awareness about the health risks from
5G radiation and to place the burden of responsibility on those who stand to
profit from 5G deployment.
ART and more
than 30 local wireless safety groups called on wireless companies (Verizon,
Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile) and their sub-contractors (e.g, Crown Castle, American
Tower, ExteNet Systems) to suspend the deployment of small cell antennas until chronic, low level exposure to 5G radio frequency radiation can be proven safe for everyone.
The local sponsors and locations of thirty demonstrations that occurred in
fourteen states are listed below. A few other demonstrations do
not appear in this list (e.g., Berkeley, CA; Oakland, CA).
