Hands Across the Sand - Protest Offshore Drilling

At exactly noon on June 26, people on beaches across the United States performed the same simple act for 15 minutes to show their opposition to drilling. The Hands across the Sand movement began in February, with a group of Floridians protesting a proposed end to an oil drilling ban in the waters around the state. But after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, it took on a new life. Groups in California, Connecticut, Florida, and every other state participated in Saturday's event. Even in landlocked states, supporters held hands at designated areas in cities.
