Follow Up to Cell Towers in Los AngelesCatherine J. Frompovich Well, activists in LA have sent me the following incredible email, which I think everyone should know about insofar as, when citizens get together, positive things can happen. So, I will allow those who did all the ground work in LA speak for themselves. First, Liz Barris, activist extraordinaire: In an incredible show of support for human health and life, Los Angeles Police yesterday stood together with fire fighters to get LA City Council (different than LA County Board of Supervisors) in a 12-0 unanimous NO for vote against LA RICS federal cell tower roll out! We must get ALL cities and counties in the state [California] and the US to follow their lead! Precedent has been set, this is DO-ABLE! Please see 12 year veteran, ex-Fire Captain, Don Wallaces note and please forward this email. Ex-Fire Captain Don Wallace Friends: Sending this out to sort of closes this file but throw nothing away! I hope that the actual Council motion is the last communication required in this saga. Thank you very much for your successful advocacy against LARics as foisted on an unaware community and unaware Firefighters by giant corporations hungry for profit and determined to avoid environmental scrutiny; abetted by Fire Chiefs lured by our own free radio system without a thought or care for the health and welfare of their brothers, never bothered to read the conflicting science on electromagnetic radiation and blithely encouraged the army of corporate consultants with their endorsement of this scam. Thanks to the political acumen of the City and County Firefighters and the REVOLT IN TOPANGA among the citizenry which generated the involvement of the Las Virgenes Homeowners Federation and the ensuing REVOLT IN CORNELL we were able to prevail? It is amazing what the community and the firefighters are able to accomplish together. Hopefully the consultants will slink away to the dark hole from whence they spawned but vast quantities of money are involved. The key word below is suspend THEYLL BE BAAAAACK! Don For several years now, the Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications (LA-RICS) Joint Powers Authority has been planning an interoperable communications program for public safety agencies in the Los Angeles region. This project included the placement of as many as 34 cell towers at LAFD fire stations and the United Firefighters of Los Angeles City (UFLAC) made our opposition to LA-RICS well known throughout the process. Today, we are proud to tell you that the Los Angeles City Council took a unanimous 12 to 0 vote mandating that the LA-RICS Joint Powers Authority immediately stop all plans to construct cell towers at LAFD fire stations and reassess the project. This is a huge win for our members and the communities that we serve. The United Firefighters of Los Angeles City, our Executive Board, and our Political Action Committee will continue to advocate for safe working conditions for all of our members. Thanks to the strong relationships that we have developed in the City Council, we now have elected leaders who care about our issues and support our Firefighters. We thank of the members of UFLAC Local 112 for your support on this important issue. Yours in Solidarity, EXECUTIVE BOARD Watch My Video on LA RICS and First Net The Federal Source of Tax Payer Funding for These Deadly and Invasive Cell Towers The above cell tower story is testimony to what can happen when citizens take back their power, which can be done with all issues affecting our health and rights as humans and free citizens. This should give encouragement to all to not let our guard down and to pick up the banner of truth regarding all things that affect our lives. Congratulations to all involved.
