On June 25, one year after the BP oil disaster, Sierra Club organizers from four ecoregions—the Gulf Coast, Adirondacks to Acadia, Pacific Northwest, and Arctic—brought hundreds of participants throughout America together once again for Hands Across the Sand.
Working with several organizations, such as Oceana, Florida Wildlife Federation, and 350.org, we generated great turn-outs in key states, including the 555 people who joined hands in Florida to support a move beyond oil.
We also received great high-profile media coverage, like this TV spot from New Orleans NBC affiliate WDSU, that bolstered our successful efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of dirty fuels and offshore drilling nationwide.
