SAFE G: Empowering Resilient Communities


Mission. To empower local communities to design immediate and effective SAFE G solutions that implement optical fiber wired to the home and office. Local taxpayers and ratepayers are entitled to this alternative to wireless, because they have already paid for it. Please see: Irregulators v. FCC.

5G/AI/Internet of Things Juggernaut presents an imminent threat. The harms to our community’s physical and mental health, the local environment, violations of citizen’s rights to due process, property, and personal privacy are foreseeable and preventable. The threat is especially dangerous to our children, elderly people, those with special sensitivities, disabled persons with chronic illnesses, caregivers, and our economically disadvantaged and minority communities that have no escape in their homes or workplaces.

Remedy: Community Empowerment: An effective remedy begins with widespread education and training in a proven system of wise leadership, community organization, team building, and negotiation. With this purpose we have created a 5G Dojo to support local communities around the world that are facing similar challenges. The key is to share negotiation successes and practical experience, so these lessons can be immediately deployed within the network. Equally essential is to fortify community-wide resilience rapidly and effectively. (See: 5 Minutes toResilience)

Our Funding Goal: $ 100,000

Donations: Please make your check or money order payable to National Institute for Science, Law, and Public Policy, designated for "SAFE G/Community Empowerment Initiative". You can contribute in two ways.

In negotiation training the most powerful way to interrupt self-defeating behaviors and patterns is to pay forward good things to others without asking or seeking anything in return.

Move # 8 – Paying Forward

In negotiation training the most powerful way to interrupt self-defeating behaviors and patterns is to pay forward good things to others without asking or seeking anything in return.

In an excellent article, “Why Nurses Chose to Remain in the Workforce: Portraits of Resilience” the authors write:

  • “In the context of exposure to significant adversity, resilience is both the capacity of individuals to navigate their way to the psychological, social, cultural, and physical resources that sustain their well-being and their capacity individually and collectively to negotiate for these resources to be provided in culturally meaningful ways. [Emphasis in the original].”

One nurse comments:

“When you get to the position of getting it all sorted out, you think, God I was lucky, gee … I was so lucky, that I was able to do all this, then I’m going to give my luck to someone else, hence when you’re traveling and you meet people that need help, you respond to that help from your abundance. I am not a rich woman by any means but I am richer than 90% of the people that are out there. So I feel very blessed and very lucky. I don’t feel as though I’ve been hard done by (Verbatim).”

The article continues:

The participants found many ways to ‘pay it forward’. Some found that being a mentor to others whether clinically, managerially or academically was like leaving a legacy for the future. Each participant spoke of their nursing experience and of their desire to be able to provide wise counsel to others. Grace says “I did education as well as administration and always thought if I could just inspire one person like … (she)  inspired me then I would have arrived on my journey” (Verbatim). April says “I’d like to be remembered as doing my very best for the people that I have been made responsible for. I hope I’ve improved their life or maintained their life or contributed to their life and their relatives and friends (Verbatim). Vivien also wanted to leave a legacy and explains “I stay in nursing because I want to make a difference, and it’s cheesy but I can see lots of things to improve outcomes for patients. I like to think I can lead by example that I’ve been doing it a long time and that there is no substitute for expertise” (Verbatim).
