Hands Across the Sand is a movement made of people of all walks of life and crosses political affiliations. This movement is not about politics; it is about protection of our coastal economies, oceans, marine wildlife, fishing industry and coastal military missions. Let us share our knowledge, energies and passion for protecting all of the above from the devastating effects of oil drilling.
What to do at a Hands Event:
STEP 1 Go to the beach at 11 AM for one hour, rain or shine.
STEP 2 Join hands for 15 minutes at 12:00 forming lines in the sand against oil drilling in our coastal waters.
STEP 3 Leave only your footprints.

If participating in this event, please try to avoid the area north of Siesta public beach (accesses 10 to 5). There is a population of nesting shorebirds along that section of the beach. The chicks and nests are already imperiled, and an event of this size could be very problematic for them. Our coastal wildlife needs all the help it can get – oiled or not. Please spread the word.
