Donate to Stop Smart Meters! and our Toll-Free Hotline
Stop Smart Meters! has been fighting for your right to refuse smart meters since 2010.
In 2016, Stop Smart Meters! launched the only grassroots based smart meter defense specific toll-free hotline in the U.S. We have directly supported thousands of people in resisting smart meters during that time.
Sometimes the internet and e-mail is just not enough and you just need to talk to someone about these complex and challenging issues.
Our hotline 1-(888) 965-6435 is generally available 10am-4pm pacific time Monday to Thursday and offers free brief phone consultations on how to resist utility smart meter programs and organize effectively in your community against wireless proliferation. Recently, our hotline has been busier than ever, and we have been struggling to answer and return calls in a timely fashion. It has not been uncommon for people to wait up to two weeks for a return call. We apologize if you have waited to receive a call back. Rest assured we will get back to you as soon as we are able.
We do not receive any regular funding to provide this service- we rely on support from people like you. We would like to avoid charging for calls, as this goes against our organizing principles. However, the reality is that the bills must be paid.
Please make a donation now in any amount to Stop Smart Meters! and help us continue to provide support to communities resisting smart meters, 5G, and other corporate-forced hazardous technologies. Or buy a discounted EMF meter, book, DVD, sticker or brochure / card pack in our online store.
Thank you for your support of grassroots, sane technology organizing!
Strongly Oppose US Senate Bill S.3157 — STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act of 2018
The wireless industry is at it again. Not content with 4G and smart grid saturation into communities around the US, they now want to add another layer of high frequency 5G microwave radiation on top of that, being blasted from millions of powerful small cell 5G RF transmitters on utility poles.
You need to take this deadly seriously, as your future health, and that of your community, depend on it.
Local governments and communities, with direct experience of wireless radiation harm, remain the biggest impediment to the ignorant and shortsighted deployment of technology that has been shown to irreparably harm life.
The wireless industry is now pushing S. 3157 — the STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act of 2018. According to the National League of Cities:
“In addition to preempting local authority, the bill would make some major changes to current federal requirements for small cell siting by carving out a new category of “small personal wireless facilities” with new requirements, separate from existing wireless siting law.”
This means that if S. 3157 passes, small cells would no longer be required to comply even with the anemic and insufficient regulations currently covering the approval of larger (4G) cell towers. If you want to stop the unbridled proliferation of powerful 5G cells in our communities, and prevent the federal takeover of our residential and commercial streets, call the Senators on the Commerce Committee prior to this Thursday, and have everyone you know do the same.

Four Asheville NC Families Disconnected By Duke for Refusing Smart Meters on their Homes
August 1st, 2018 update: We have received an update that families who have been resisting in Asheville, living without electricity, have given in to Duke Energy’s demands to install electronic meters on their property in exchange for resumption of their electricity service.
July 18th 2018 Update :
See videos and back story here.
From: Citizens For Safe Metering <ashevillesafemetering@gmail.com>
Update on our process: It’s now Day 19 and we still are without power. But there’s some movement. We are about to do a press release and interviews. And creating a pamphlet to hand out around our neighborhood with the information for how to protect ourselves from the Smart Meters and what your options are.
The big news is that a state legislator contacted Duke Energy on our behalf and they called us yesterday and explained that they can turn our power back on but first we need to have the city inspectors look at our meter base and approve it, and the city requires a licensed electrician to look at it before they will look at it.
So lots of coordinating and costs. And then Duke is asking for a hefty re-connection fee once the inspection is done. But I went over the whole thing with the associate on the phone, our intent behind our actions, that we were acting out of concern for our health and waited years for Duke’s compliance yet could not let ourselves get pulsed every 30 seconds any longer. And how we handled it in a very professional way that assured no power was stolen, and yet how they were completely unavailable to support our health concerns and respond to our requests and notifications which invited them to assist us.
And so she said she is going to speak to someone higher up. We’ll see, and I’ll let you know. We are so grateful for each one of you assisting us. Really amazing and greatly supportive. However, please forward on to others our fundraiser as we are still quite significantly short from all our out of pocket expenses and potential upcoming ones in order to get our power back on and more. We still need to get Doctors notes as well to assure that we have a strong case to push for analog meters on our houses. And working to assure that others will have that choice too.
Sincerely, with much gratitude,
Michael Brasunas
Things are literally heating up for at least four families in Asheville, North Carolina after Duke Energy disconnected their homes last week simply for refusing smart meters on their homes (a choice many of us in the rest of the country take for granted). The Raleigh ES site has been tracking developments, and are raising money for the families affected in this case.
Here is an excerpt from their diary:
“It’s also very hot today and so we are trying to power some small fans with the generator, but it’s also very loud and the other neighbors on the street will probably get quite tired of this situation. For sure having our power abruptly cut off was a shock and has caused a major shift in everything we do, there are lessons in it, but also unfortunate circumstances that are quite a challenge. In order to work on editing all the footage we have from 7 different cameras that were running each for about 15-20 minutes it took a lot of coordinating and time and patience to put it all together, and since we didn’t have generators yet our computers died so we sometimes had to go down to another neighbors house who let us sit on her back porch and plug in. We were up late last night, after midnight, and then I was up again at 4:30 this morning working on the footage, fixing things, preparing for the day before my kids wake up….”
Stop Smart Meters! stands in solidarity with this group resisting smart meters in Asheville and all around the world. We ourselves have lived through plenty of utility abuse, living 18 months without electricity as retaliation for our refusal to pay opt out fees (we prevailed in court and they were forced to turn our power back on and cancel all extortion charges).
Remember, the utilities have ZERO legal right to force smart meters on your property. It is, after all, YOUR property– not theirs. Utility companies typically resort to bullying tactics like depriving people of electricity to their homes, and levying extortion fees, in order to pressure the public to accept their deeply unpopular wireless meters. Increasingly, though, people are just not buying it.
With any luck, public support, and resolve on the part of those standing their ground in Asheville, Duke will be forced to back down, or lose their customers to increasingly economical off-grid power systems.
