It’s Official! CHD Launches 704 No More to Fight Harmful Cell Towers

You can join the movement as Children’s Health Defense and more than 100 safety groups challenge the uncontrolled expansion of dangerous cell towers in our communities, where our children live, learn and play.

by Children’s Health Defense EMR & Wireless Team

Children’s Health Defense (CHD) has officially launched 704 No More, a legal initiative supported by over 100 safe tech, environmental justice and children’s health organizations across the country.

For decades, Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 has enabled the uncontrolled expansion of harmful cell towers in our communities, where our children live, learn and play.

What’s wrong with Section 704?

Gives the telecom industry the ability to install harmful cell towers and antennas next to homes, schools, playgrounds, parks and daycares.
Strips away individual rights, property rights and freedoms.
Denies legal recourse to those injured by wireless radiation, leaving them without remedies and compensation.
Overrides traditional state police powers that allow us to protect our children’s health and safety on the local level.

This is unconstitutional and must be addressed.

At its core, 704 No More is about protecting children from involuntary exposure to harmful radiofrequency radiation.

Through this initiative, we will:

Tackle the broad federal preemption that prohibits local authorities from denying cell tower applications based on health and environmental effects.
Give you and your community a say when it comes to whether and where cell towers are placed in your neighborhood.
Provide legal recourse for those harmed by wireless radiation.
Protect our constitutional rights and freedoms.
