OPPORTUNITY
In the near future the Citizens of Florida will have an opportunity to show their opposition to oil drilling as close as 3 to 10 miles off our coast.
This movement will be made of people of all walks of life and will cross political affiliations.
This movement is not about politics; it is about protection of our shoreline, our tourism, our valuable properties and our way of life. Let us share our knowledge, energies and passion for protecting our waterways and beaches from the devastating effects of oil drilling.
We are Protesting to Protect!
Hands Across The Sand is devoted to protecting our coastline and waterways from the devastating environmental effects of oil exploration and support industries.
MISSION STATEMENT
1. To raise awareness about pending Florida legislation to drill for oil in our coastal waters.
2. To organize a statewide coastal movement to protest this legislation. This protest will bring thousands of Florida's citizens to our beaches and will draw metaphorical and actual lines in the sand; human lines in the sand against near shore oil drilling in our waters. This event will be held on Saturday February 13, 2010.
3. To convince our Legislators and Governor to drop any and all Legislation that would allow this folly.
Please join us in creating what could become the largest public gathering in the history of our state: February 13, 2010.
What To Do On…
