[Hidden-tech] Verizon update 5G

[Deborah Chandler]

Wendy,

Thank you for being proactive on this. If you would like to speak to any of
the plaintiffs on the legal case with Verizon in Pittsfield, please let me
know, they are colleagues of mine. They have at least one attorney working
on their case which, if folks are not aware, is due to Verizon installing
and activating a tower in the Shacktown neighborhood of Pittsfield with no
advance notice or approval from the residents in the neighborhood. 17 of
the neighbors, including young children, have had to leave their homes due
to severe illness and some have gotten cancer. Some have sold their homes,
not having hope of a resolution anytime soon. The city at first filed a
cease and desist with Verizon, who (surprise, surprise) did not comply, and
then the city rescinded it (again, surprise, surprise, the officials have
likely been paid off or threatened or both) This has been going on for
about a year and a half. This is how the telecom giants play their evil
games. And Verizon seems to be the leader of the pack.

Here is just one of many articles about this case. If the plaintiffs
prevail, and Verizon is told they have to shut down their tower, it will
set a legal precedent across this country.

So please be in touch if you would like me to connect you with Courtney
Gilardi, the lead plaintiff. Obviously you are dealing with the opposite
problem, you WANT Verizon service, but she can likely provide strategic
pointers in how to approach and deal with Verizon, after having to hire
attorneys to deal with her horrid situation.

Best,
Deb
