“Our planet depends on our continued activism in order to ensure it will be here for future generations.” Dede Shelton, Executive Director. Hands Across The Sand
Hands Across the Sand was founded in 2010 by restaurateur, Dave Rauschkolb of Seaside, Florida. The grew into an international movement after the BP oil disaster in April of that year. People around the world, came together to join hands, forming symbolic barriers against spilled oil and standing against the impacts of other forms of extreme energy.
The mission of Hands Across the Sand is to bring together individuals and organizations to promote a clean energy future across the world and end our dependence on dirty fuels. It is our goal to gather thousands of Americans and global citizens at beaches and cities to draw metaphorical and actual lines in the sand,,, human lines in the sand against fossil fuels that threaten our future.
Eight years later, we invite activists to call for the President to maintain the Paris Climate Accord, reject offshore drilling, the KXL and other tar sands pipelines, hydraulic fracking, seismic air gun blasting and call on local and state leaders to protect our communities by rejecting projects that expand the extraction and use of fossil fuels — and instead accelerate the shift to clean, renewable energy.
In 2017, we had 112 events around the Globe. There were events in Belize, Canada, Egypt, Australia and New Zealand. Around the United States, there were events in Florida, one being held at Ed Walline State Park in Santa Rosa Beach, California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Vermont, Washington. Miami has held the record for the largest event, last year 500+ people joined hands up and down Miami Beach.

This year is time to stand united and embrace a stronger than ever commitment to protecting our planet and its oceans and waters. Here in Florida, we hold hands in the sand as a symbol of protection for our beautiful coastal environment and clear emerald waters, our fish and wildlife, sugar-white sandy beaches... and our way of life.
