I live in a neighboring town to Ripon, California. In 2019, four students and three staff members at a local elementary school (Weston Elementary), were diagnosed with cancer. They battled with Sprint and eventually the cell tower was moved away from the school. We need to have safe zones for neighborhoods and schools where these towers are far away. Children are developing and we need to protect them from the harms of EMF's.
