Lauren Steiner discusses with Theodora Scarato and Catherine Dodd on two REALLY bad telcom bills moving through the CA legislature that will enable 5G eliminating local control. We discuss why these bills are bad. They do not achieve the stated purpose of improving connectivity or eliminating the digital divide. They are bad for human health, the environment, increase climate change, reduce property taxes, are not insurable and increase potential for hacking and surveillance. Learn how YOU can stop them. My guests are Theodora Scarato, MSW, who is Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust (EHT), a scientific think tank that publishes research and educates policymakers on environmental health issues. EHT scientists are among the leading independent voices calling for reducing wireless worldwide. Scarato directs EHT educational programs, publishes research and coordinates scientific conferences and programs in the US and internationally alongside EHT’s Senior Science Advisors. Scarato has co-authored several articles on electromagnetic field policy and is a lead policy analyst and researcher for the EHT database on international actions– the most comprehensive collection of information on policy actions on cell phones and wireless. My other guest is Catherine Dodd, PhD and RN, who is a policy advisor to the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments. Until 2017, she directed the San Francisco Health Service System. Prior to that, she was Deputy Chief of Staff to Mayor Gavin Newsom. She was District Chief of Staff to Nancy Pelosi. Currently she serves as Vice Chair to Commonweal, a social, health and environmental incubator and policy advisor to FACTS: Families Advocating for Chemical and Toxic Safety.
