While we've been very fortunate so far during this time, our friends, partners, and customers haven't been so lucky, and they're going to need all of us to push for the relief that's needed to help the people of the live events/entertainment industry during this time.
Today, September 1st, is a nationwide awareness event put on by #WeMakeEvents called #RedAlertRESTART supporting the live events industry. We encourage you to head over to https://t.co/RL4tNQWOsn and see what you can do to help out an industry that's been gutted by COVID-19.
Live events employ over 12 million people, of which 95% of live events have been cancelled and 96% of companies have cut staff and/or wages. Live events also contribute over $1 trillion annually to the US economy, and that number is going to be very slow to come back to normal.
