Contact Decision-Makers
Every time a gate goes up or a path disappears, another piece of our heritage slips away. Our leaders need to hear from us — clearly, respectfully, and in numbers too big to ignore.
Our Core Demands
1. Implement retroactive laws that secure public beach passage — formally recognizing and protecting access points historically used by Bahamians.
2. Create laws that protect all existing public beach access points from closure, obstruction, or privatization.
