Windmills, NOT Oil Spills! Third annual Hands Across the Sand Sat., Aug. 4
We’re uniting Hands Across the Sand to send Congress a message: “Virginians want windmills, not oil spills”.
Join the Sierra Club, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Oceana, Surfrider Foundation and other partner organizations on Saturday, August 4th for the 3rd annual Hands Across the Sand, an international day of action when thousands line up along beaches and join hands to say “no” to offshore oil drilling and “yes” to clean energy like offshore wind.
