‘Hands Across the Sand’ planned along West Bay
A local “Hands Across the Sand” event is planned for tomorrow (June 26). The group is asking for people to join them in creating a human line extending from the mouth of the Boardman River west past the volleyball courts.
“Hands Across the Sand” is a national demonstration to bring attention to the dangers of offshore drilling and call on leaders to end our oil dependence and move America into a clean energy future.
Those who wish to participate are asked to arrive between 11 & 11:45 for a noontime demonstration. For more information, call June Thaden, 947-1800 947-8476.
There are other Michigan events planned as well.
This video from an event in Florida reminds me of a human oil spill boom. Which appears to be the goal, to create ‘a solid wall of opposition to offshore drilling in Florida‘.
Thank you, Gary for this shout out with the great vimeo of a February event in Florida! Those folks had an imminent vote to motivate them. We have a beautiful Bay and Lake to love and protect!!
Folks can contact me at 947-8476, or better at jthaden00@yahoo.com Don’t call that number in the announcement.
June
