DESCRIPTION:Come hear why and how we'll get 5th Generation "small" cells banned in 
 residential neighborhoods. Oppose 5G to protect our local pollinator, bird, 
 wildlife, and human populations.  A ban on 5G wireless won't impede 
 wireless services but will:\nProtect privacy and security, \nReduce 
 unsightly and hazardous industrial clutter in our neighborhoods, \nPrevent 
 5G's increased energy use, \nReduce harmful health impacts, \nPrevent 
 related fires,  \nMake our cities more resilient when disaster strikes by 
 preserving our reliable communication network, and \nDefend local 
 sovereignty and the public interest from Big Telecom greed. \n\nOver 20 
 California cities have passed measures to restrict the roll-out of 5th 
 Generation so-called "small" cell towers.\n\nIf things proceed 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.\n\nPanel Discussion featuring health educator Sarah Aminoff, 
 scientist Lloyd Morgan, and author Gar Smith.  Don't miss the audience 
 discussion that follows!\n\nBring your friends to this important GREEN 
 SUNDAY forum. There'll be free copies of the excellent "Re-Inventing Wires" 
 published by the National Institute for Science, Law & Public Policy.  The 
 event may be live streamed and archived on the Green Party of Alameda 
 County facebook page.\n\nAbout the SPEAKERS: \n\nGar SMITH is editor 
 emeritus of Earth Island Journal, co-founder of Environmentalists Against 
 War, and director of the nonprofit Academic Publishing Inc. A veteran of 
 Berkeley’s Free Speech Movement, Smith has been jailed for anti-war 
 actions and has engaged in environmental campaigns on three continents.  A 
 Project Censored award-winning journalist, he is the recipient of the 
 Health Journalism Award and the World Affairs Council’s Thomas More 
 Storke International Journalism Award.  He is the author of Nuclear 
 Roulette and The War and Environment Reader, and he recently wrote "How the 
 5G Revolution Threatens Human Health and Nature." \n\nLloyd MORGAN is 
 Senior Research Fellow, Environmental Health Trust (EHT), and Director, 
 Central Brain Tumor Registry of the US.  He is a retired electronic 
 engineer who has been working on radio frequency radiation since 1991 and 
 has published peer-reviewed studies.  After helping the city of Berkeley 
 adopt its Cell Phone Right to Know ordinance, he founded Wireless Radiation 
 Education & Defense (WiRED) which is on the cusp of getting the city to 
 adopt an ordinance restricting 5G.  He is a Board Member of the 
 International EMF (Electromagnetic Frequencies) Alliance and is also a 
 member of the international science organizations, the Bioelectromagnetics 
 Society, the European Bioelectromagnetics Association, and the Brain Tumor 
 Epidemiology Consortium.\n\n\nSarah AMINOFF taught first year experience at 
 Sonoma State University and health education at City College of SF, College 
 for Teens.  With United Educators of SF, she worked on a safer technology 
 campaign for SF schools in collaboration with EHT'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 
 Ca 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.  Successes 
 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. \n \nGREEN SUNDAYS are a 
 series of free public programs & discussions on topics "du jour" sponsored 
 by the Green Party of Alameda County and held on the 2nd Sunday of each
