5G Safety Overview / Public Efforts for a 5G Ordinance in Ashland

Please join us for this inspiring event, held 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1 at  Jackson Wellsprings Community Room, 2253 Highway 99, Ashland.

Ashland, Oregon is a beautiful mountain community where health and clean living are valued and promoted.

A group of concerned community members, in partnership with Oregon for Safer Technology, are committed to protecting our town’s future by keeping small cell antennas (5G) in check with a legally strong local zoning ordinance.

Please come to our gathering to learn more about 5G wireless communications facilities and the challenges facing the Ashland City Council as they try to craft a strong wireless ordinance that will preserve their authority under the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to control the placement of 5G towers in the city.

One of our goals is to hire respected and knowledgeable attorney Andrew Campanelli to write a robust wireless communications facility ordinance for Ashland. This ordinance will become a model for all municipalities in the state of Oregon.

We feel strongly about vesting city leaders with the authority they need to draft legally robust zoning provisions to control the placement of small cell towers and other wireless facilities within their jurisdiction to the greatest extent possible.

We envision a future where children, families, and neighbors can enjoy the serenity this lovely mountain town offers without unnecessary radio frequency radiation.
