WHAT ARE LAST TREE LAWS?
Last tree laws are laws that prevent the last tree from falling alongside human life. We design laws to protect all life, for liberty, self-determination, and justice.
WHO ARE WE?
After a decade of volunteering with others for legislative writing and political advocacy, the founder formed a business in early 2026 to develop a more professional working model and full-time team. Last Tree Laws, L.L.C., based in Holyoke, Massachusetts, is now a limited liability company (L.L.C.).
PURPOSE
Last Tree Laws, L.L.C., works on independent public policy, research, model legislation, & ballot campaigns to enact systematic reforms, and may engage in any other legal activity as an L.L.C. All activities are directed towards improving conditions for ‘the people’ and vulnerable ecosystems without a voice.
FOUNDER
More than a decade ago, having left teaching due to severe headaches attributed to exhaustion, Kirstin Beatty found wireless radiation caused her headaches and began preparing legislation for limits, assuming that protecting everyone would win easy support (for science on this issue, see ICBE-EMF dot org). Despite befriending and working with others with similar experiences, she curbed expectations as she learned about the legislative process. As her own and similar bills stalled, she noted bills benefiting various industries moved ahead despite obvious flaws, resident opposition, and expense to humanity.
Her observations led to the decision to create a team that would listen to and help everyone create practical solutions that respect and protect us all. She cares about more than radiation, such as about ecology, education, and the ability for everyone to have a decent future.
VALUES
We are firm in our belief that solutions require a seat of everyone at the table: no tyranny, no kings, no false idols. We don’t have to agree on everything to work together. Last Tree Laws, L.L.C., respects diversity of thought, free speech, and privacy, including the private right of a woman’s choice and the private right to personal orientation and identity. Further, discrimination and slander based upon appearance, thoughts, or cultural differences is foolish, a red herring at a time when we all need to unite, communicate and find common ground to effect meaningful change.
BUILDING BROAD COALITIONS
The Founder may attend conferences, events, and network to increase support, acquire team members, and conduct research. Our attendance or networking does not mean we support and agree on every issue presented or inferred. No one agrees on everything, but we seek to find common ground, listen, and learn from our differences.
CURRENT OBJECTIVES
Last Tree Laws, L.L.C., is currently in a build phase for financing and building a team (job postings are here). We need monthly funders – please support us here and see our new series, a ‘Case for Support‘ and our current work.
