Speaker bio

Miriam Eckenfels-Garcia is the Director of Children’s Health Defense’s (CHD) Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) & Wireless program. She leads a team of litigators and researchers focused on protecting children and the environment from the harms of wireless radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Miriam is an international lawyer with a background in corporate accountability and international human rights law. Throughout her career, she has worked for various human rights organizations in Europe and the U.S., where she focused on mechanisms to hold corporate actors accountable for egregious violations of human rights. After seven years of running pro bono research projects and international fellowships for the Public Interest Law Center at NYU School of Law, she joined CHD in 2021 to build and run its educational fellowship program and to fight against the unchecked expansion of wireless infrastructure – pushed by big telecom and special interests – that harms our health, the environment, and our privacy autonomy.

Program description

The Federal Cell Tower Takeover: Federal agencies and Congress are pushing major policy changes that will allow industry to place cell towers and antennas virtually anywhere in America — including near homes and schools, on neighborhood playgrounds, and in front of your church. All with no informed consent, no safety oversight, and an industry shielded from liability. And you and your town will have no say in the decision making. Learn about the negative impacts of cell towers on health and the environment and join a discussion about what you can do to stop unwanted towers in your community.
