About Northern Rivers for Safe Technology (NRST)
Northern Rivers for Safe Technology was originally formed in 2019 in direct response to community concerns around 5G. The grassroots group masterminded the global boycott-5G-phones campaign We Are Not SAM, which is backed by leading scientists and doctors in the field. It is also involved in a host of advocacy and awareness efforts for greater tech safety standards. The group is based in Byron Bay, Australia.
The Groups Vision
We’re on a global mission to minimise harmful exposures to wireless radiation, empower people to use technology in a safe and meaningful way, and to ensure the tech and telco industries are held accountable for their actions.
Achievements
Its actions on the frontlines and behind the scenes have inspired others nationally and globally. Since its inception, the group has:
- successfully lobbied its local council to take action on 5G. In 2020, Byron Shire Council became the first council in Australia to call for a moratorium on a proposed 5G tower upgrade.
- organised a roster of constant presence at the site of the moratorium to prevent telco workers from conducting any tower upgrade. The vigil was the first of its kind in Australia and received national media coverage.
- launched the We Are Not SAM (WANS) campaign
- lobbied local, state and federal authorities, regulatory bodies and the telecommunications industry in Australia to push for more rigorous safety standards around 5G and mobile phone devices.
- formed alliances with a vast network of groups in Australia and globally, such as Children’s Health Defense (chaired by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr), Environmental Health Trust (headed by Dr Devra Davis), Environment and Communities Safe From Radiation (ECSFR), and all Australian national Safe Technology groups.
- engaged with social influencers and media platforms, with Northern Rivers for Safe Technology featured in national news programs.
- organised community events, rallies and action meetings to raise awareness about 5G and safe technology
- created a 40+ page Strategy Kit to support individuals and communities to take action against the roll out of 5G.
