Act Now • Clean Ether & Light‑Age Roadmap
Five coordinated actions · one Light‑First endgame

Act Now: Protect Health, Restore Accountability.

This hub gathers the five most important levers for parents, clinicians, and communities: fixing Section 704, finishing the FCC remand, enforcing Public Law 90‑602, correcting the MAHA report, and pushing a Li‑Fi‑first Light‑Age policy.

Scroll down; each card is a full action: a short brief, concrete asks, and a single “Take action” button that jumps to the detailed RF SAFE page with copy‑ready letters, call notes, and share tools.

Five actions that move the needle

Work through them in order or pick the one that matches who you are (parent, clinician, city official, lawmaker). Every button opens a dedicated page with the full story and scripts.
Local Control Section 704
Action 1 / 5

End the health gag in antenna siting

Section 704 of the 1996 Telecom Act says cities and schools may not regulate antenna placement on the basis of RF health effects if FCC limits are met. That gag rule blocks communities from protecting children even after a federal court called the FCC’s RF‑limits record “arbitrary and capricious.”

  • Ask Congress to reform or repeal the 704 health preemption.
  • Urge city & school boards to pass resolutions pressing Congress.
  • Demand child‑specific siting policies for schools and playgrounds.
Federal Standards FCC remand
Action 2 / 5

Finish the court‑ordered fix to 1996 RF limits

In Environmental Health Trust v. FCC (2021), the D.C. Circuit held that the FCC’s decision to keep 1996 RF limits was “arbitrary and capricious” for ignoring non‑thermal, long‑term, and child‑specific harms. The agency still has to cure that record with modern science.

  • Demand a transparent, science‑based update that includes non‑thermal effects.
  • Insist on child‑specific protections and cumulative‑exposure analysis.
  • Ask Congress to oversee the FCC’s remand timeline and public participation.
Accountability Public Law 90‑602
Action 3 / 5

Enforce the law: restart the RF program at HHS

Public Law 90‑602 requires HHS to run an electronic‑product radiation control program: continuous research, public reporting, and performance standards when needed. Phones, routers, Wi‑Fi, and IoT are squarely inside that mandate, yet the RF program has been allowed to wind down.

  • Tell HHS to restart NTP RF research with a public multi‑year plan.
  • Ask Congress to oversee HHS compliance with PL 90‑602.
  • Press for inter‑agency work so HHS science guides FCC limits and product standards.
MAHA · Correct the Record MAHA
Action 4 / 5

Correct MAHA: enforce PL 90‑602 & protect children

The “Make Our Children Healthy Again: Assessment” (MAHA) report from HHS leadership gave wireless a brief paragraph, rated harms to children “low–inadequate,” and omitted the strongest science — including NTP, Ramazzini, and WHO‑program reviews. That gap undermines both PL 90‑602 and honest risk communication to parents.

  • Call for a MAHA erratum and technical annex that restores the missing RF science.
  • Demand that HHS restart NTP’s RF work and lead a de‑novo child‑focused risk assessment.
  • Ask for a child‑first roadmap, including Li‑Fi‑first guidance for schools and pediatric care.
Solutions BELL · Light‑Age
Action 5 / 5

Lower indoor RF by moving data to light

The BELL plan is RF SAFE’s Light‑Age roadmap: shift high‑bandwidth indoor payloads to Li‑Fi (IEEE 802.11bb) and wires, while RF handles outdoor mobility and backhaul. Light is fast, room‑bounded, and naturally private. Indoors, it lets roofs and walls become a shield again instead of a bypass.

  • Ask public buyers to require 802.11bb‑ready lighting and access points.
  • Encourage phone OEMs to add a simple “light antenna” in the camera bump.
  • Support Li‑Fi‑first policy for classrooms, pediatric spaces, and critical care.
