Sierra Club and Citizens Climate Lobby are collaboration for a local Hands Across The Sand (HATS) event in Fort Myers Beach on May 21 from 9 am to 12 pm.

HATS events across the world are for saying "NO to fossil fuels and YES to clean energy". For Florida, the coalition is focusing their call to action by asking the Biden Administration for no new leases for offshore drilling and exploration in the Atlantic Ocean and off Florida’s Gulf Coast for the next five years.
