On Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 1 p.m., thousands of Floridians from all walks of life will gather on beaches from Pensacola to Key West and Miami to Jacksonville in a statewide coastal protest against legislative proposals to open Florida's waters to offshore oil drilling.

Stand with Clean Water Action and be a part of this historic event! Go to your local Florida beach at 1 p.m. wearing a black t-shirt or hat. At 1:30 pm, we will hold hands creating human lines in the sand protesting oil drilling in Florida's waters.
