The Hands Across the Sand mission is:

1. To raise awareness about the devastating effects oil drilling could have on our coastal economies and environment.

2. To organize a national coastal movement to protest lifting the bans on near and offshore oil drilling. These protests will bring thousands of America’s citizens to our beaches and will draw metaphorical and actual lines in the sand; human lines in the sand against oil drilling in our waters. Event dates will be announced.

3. To convince our State Legislators, Governors, Congress and President Obama to adopt policies encouraging clean and renewable energy sources. Create legislation that creates tax incentives to encourage clean energy industries to bring business and jobs to our coastal states. Create legislation that gives Americans tax incentives to adopt in–home solar technology.
