Live Events Industry on Red Alert
With 95% of Live Events canceled in recent months, the Live Events Industry is on "Red Alert."
If you have made a living in the lighting industry for a number of years, chances are you know some people who are involved in theatrical lighting or live events. All businesses seem to be taking a hit during these pandemic times, but ones that derive a significant portion of income from live events have taken really severe hits.
September 1 has been designated as Red Alert RESTART day for the Live Events Industry. Live events organizations are asking us to take action in support of the millions of people and thousands of small businesses affected by the pandemic. And they're not asking us for money.
Here's the call to action:
- Please post a red-tinted photo of your favorite live event to your social media with the following caption: #RedAlertRESTART: the live events we love may never recover from the pandemic, we need to take action! Take 2 minutes to contact your representatives here, and post a red photo of you at your favorite event, too: https://wemakeevents.org #WeMakeEvents #ExtendPUA
- Help us get more venues lit up! Hit up your friends in the industry and ask if they’re participating. Help us spread the word and make this thing viral!
- Please contact your government representatives via the form on wemakeevents.org
