Hands Across the Sand

What's it going to take to protect the nation's beaches from more oil drilling once and for all? A historic outpouring of support -- one that overshadows all the money and influence Big Oil has in politics.

Vox is participating in gatherings of hundreds of thousands of Americans, standing together on June 26 to permanently protect our shores from offshore drilling.

Hands Across the Sand began with a flash rally earlier this year in Florida and quickly turned into the largest-ever gathering of citizens united against drilling -- and for protecting the state's famous shores. The statewide movement, called Hands Across the Sand, helped put to rest plans by the Florida legislature to repeal the state's long-standing moratorium against more drilling.

Sign up here to attend a Hands Across the Sand gathering near you, on June 26. The Boulder gathering will be from 1-3 this Saturday on the lawn area between the library and municipal building on Canyon Blvd. Hope to see you there!
