"Hands", sometimes known as "White Hands", is a controversial political advertisement aired on television during the United States Senate election in North Carolina, 1990 by incumbent Jesse Helms' political campaign, criticising his opponent for being in favor of racial quotas. The advertisement is considered to be an important factor for Helms' victory over Harvey Gantt. It was written and produced by Alex Castellanos.

The advertisement shows the hands of a white man in a plaid shirt reading and then crumpling up a job rejection letter, while a voiceover says "You needed that job, and you were the best qualified. But they had to give it to a minority because of a racial quota. Is that really fair?" The advert compared Helms to Gantt by saying that Gantt was "for racial quotas" while Helms was against them.

"Hands" is a charity single recorded by various artists for the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting. It was written by Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels, and BloodPop, and produced by the latter and Mark Ronson. All of the song's proceeds benefit the families affected during the shooting, and will help cover medical costs and counseling efforts. The song was conceived by Tranter, the day after the United States' deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman occurred.

Approximately 24 artists assisted in the making of "Hands", which was released as a digital download on July 6, 2016. Interscope Records handled the release, allowing artists to use their studios most convenient to them. In addition to Tranter and Interscope, GLAAD also helped with the single. Proceeds from the song will be donated to the Equality Florida Pulse Victims Fund, the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida and GLAAD.
