Tennessee Town Takes Stand Against Telecom Giants and Stops 5G Rollout - Mike Mitchell

About this episode

Mike Mitchell discusses the fight against the 5G rollout in Farragut, Tennessee, and the challenges faced from local government.

When the small town of Farragut, Tennessee, was threatened with a corporate tidal wave of deadly 5G cell towers in their front yards, the citizens fought back. Mike Mitchell led the charge, even as the mayor and vice mayor of the city refused to allow citizens inside the Town Hall to voice their protestations. Mayor Ron Williams closed the Farragut town hall using Covid as an excuse, refused to let residents speak at all, and restricted them to email communication only. Mike and his fellow citizens didn’t give up! He worked with the Environmental Health Trust, a non-profit organization dedicated to identifying emerging environmental hazards and fighting to protect safe communities. Together, they were able to halt the onslaught of 5G and its harmful radiation, but Farragut’s local tyranny remains.
