It’s an opportunity for individuals and organizations and people of all walks of life to draw a line in the sand and say no” to more offshore oil drilling. Now is the time to start taking control of our energy future and not leaving it to the oil industry to decide it for us.” ~Rauschkolb, “Hands Across the Sand” organizer
On June 26 people at 742 sites around all over the world including Britain, India, Australia, Croatia, Peru people will join Americans in California, Puerto Rico and D.C. and more at their local beaches at 11 AM in their own time zone. They will form lines in the sand and at 12:00, join hands to protest offshore drilling.
In NY Brooklyn is getting it poppin on Saturday.
Hands Across the Sand’s site says:
The image is powerful, the message is simple. NO to Offshore Oil Drilling, YES to Clean Energy.”
That sounds easy enough doesn’t it? If you’ve never been to a protest this sounds like an easy one. I’m not foreseeing fire hoses and German Shepherds so you’re getting off easy and making your voice heard.
Check out handsacrossthesand.com to learn more about how this idea got started in Florida when it was first used months before the BP oil spill to protest offshore drilling there and more.
