In January, the FCC issued a press statement signaling that it would end any effort to review its 26-year-old cell phone radiation limits.
EHT attorneys responded immediately, filing legal action against the agency
with support from the
Natural Resources Defense Council
, one of the nation’s top environmental organizations.
Our suit contends that the agency's actions were arbitrary and capricious
, an abuse of discretion, and otherwise unlawful
because the FCC had ignored more than 900 submissions and thousands of peer-reviewed published studies from EHT and many other scientists showing that current levels of radiation emitted by cell phones and towers can harm public health and the environment.
It is a real credit to our talented legal team, led by Edward Myers, who succeeded in an
earlier lawsuit
against the FCC, that we have come this far so fast.
We could not have met our initial goal of raising $100,000 to support this lawsuit without tremendous outpouring of support from hundreds of generous private supporters, matching funds from an anonymous source, and a grant from the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Now, we need to raise an additional $100,000 to get to the critically important next phase
and complete what we have started. The court has given us one month to submit our brief! There is no time to waste!
The FCC has violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the National Environmental Policy Act by failing to adequately review the hundreds of relevant scientific submissions finding harmful effects from wireless technologies. We CAN NOT let the FCC get away with this!
This next phase will be no walk in the park, but EHT is in a strong legal position to challenge the FCC's decision to keep using outdated thermally based guidelines — and apply them to the oncoming glut of 5G!
The FCC is breaking the law and we must hold it accountable. But we need your help.
We have one month left before the deadline to file our brief. We need to raise $100,000 so that counsel can combat the $2.4 trillion global telecom industry's influence over your federal government!
PLEASE HELP US CONTINUE TO MAKE THE CASE. Your donation will allow us to
pursue this lawsuit and protect our families. We can't do it without you.
