Dear Duluthians, 

The fifth generation of wireless technology, or “5G”, is currently being rolled out throughout the United States by the telecommunications and other industries, with zero scientific studies having been done to prove its safety for people, flora, and fauna.

Serious, increasing health damage to our population is documented to have been caused by the cell phone and wireless technology we are already using; from 2G thru 4G.  The accumulated clinical evidence of sick, injured, and disabled human beings; experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ systems in insects, plants, animals, and humans; and the growing epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization — cancer, heart disease,  diabetes, and neurological disease — are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, form a literature base of well over 20,000 peer-reviewed studies. 

The studies include evidence of DNA and cellular damage from non-thermal, non-ionizing radiation used in telecommunications such as cell phone towers, cell phones, wi-fi, and by other “smart” devices.

One of the largest studies was a $30-million study conducted on Cell Phone Radiation by the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) which found “clear evidence” of cancer, heart damage and DNA damage.

EHTrust Testimony

The FCC uses faulty, outdated, telecommunications industry profit-driven “science” in reference to non-thermal radiation in their safety tests from 1996 based on the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate).  They base their “safety guidelines” solely on thermal effects or bodily tissue heating.   5G Truth-Is it Safe? 

Peer-reviewed, scientific studies have clarified the fact that U.S. Government, FCC radiation limits are meaningless for health effects, and provide no protection, and that non-thermal, non-ionizing RF does in fact, cause harm to human health.  Also, the wireless industry does not have one single study indicating that 5G is safe for people, flora, and fauna.  (Evidence list here.)

The telecommunications and other industries are planning to deploy 5G small cell towers every 2 to 10 homes (includes your front yard), at schools, daycare centers, businesses, parks, bus stops, restaurants, hotels, apartments, shopping malls, and hospitals.  The 5G deployment plan would increase current levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today, potentially subjecting our entire planet to unprecedented, aggressive, destructive frequencies. 

The 5G Plan as currently exists, would alter the natural electromagnetic frequencies of the Earth that are relied on by our bodies to re-set and heal, and would scramble our intercellular communications.  It would interfere with Earth’s natural electromagnetic field that birds use to migrate and orient themselves.  It would kill insects we rely on for our food production, and “destroy fertility across the spectrum of life” (Dr. Girish Kumar).    The 5G plan would create serious, irreversible effects on humans, and wreak havoc with all of Earth’s ecosystems. 

Scientifically Verified Facts

More than 20,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrate harm to human health from RF radiation. Effects include:

Alteration of heart rhythms
Altered gene expression
Altered metabolism
Altered stem cell development
Anxiety
Broken Brain Blood Barriers
Over-Calcification of cells
Cancers and Tumors
Cardiovascular disease
Cognitive impairment
Depression
DNA damage
Impaired sperm function and quality
Impacts on general well-being
Increased free radicals
Insomnia
Learning and memory deficits
Miscarriage, stillbirths, and Infertility
Neurological damage
Nervous stress, irritability
Obesity and diabetes
Oxidative stress 
Effects in children include autism, panic disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and asthma.

Honorable Senators, Representatives, and Governor Walz:

Our country was built on freedom that does not harm another, and uncompromising affirmation of our inherent rights to life, liberty, happiness, health, privacy, and security in our homes, places of education, business, worship and enjoyment, without being poisoned by non-ionizing radiation 24/7.  Furthermore, it is OUR RESPONSIBILITY to protect what remains of Nature from increasing toxicity and stress!

As our elected government officials, we call you to your obligation to we Minnesotans, to STOP the advancement of 5G (Fifth Generation Wireless technology) in our State, cities, towns, and neighborhoods.  We do not consent to be subjects of this dangerous experiment.  We are counting on YOU to do your part to insist that proper study be undertaken for better informed technology decisions and progress with due respect to the health and well being of all.

Duluthians, please stand up to the intended 5G atrocity and use your VOICE by signing this petition to halt 5G technology until it can be developed safely for ALL. 

(Note to Petition Signers:  You can switch your wifi and cell phone off. But you would have no control over the constant radiation exposure from 5G small cell towers in and near your living space, if the 5G Roll-Out continues into your area of residence, as planned, without your consent.)
