Today marks six months since the entertainment industry came to a grinding halt at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Six months that gig and live event workers have been out of work, and a majority have been out of income.

Now it is our time to stand up and speak out.

Today, the entertainment community of North America are turning the continent red in order to bring awareness to the millions of live event workers who have been displaced by the pandemic and to call for government action to assist them until their jobs come back.

In addition to lighting the world up red, the group behind #WeMakeEvents will also be hosting a live stream from 9pm – midnight EST in order to show the world what they’re doing, share stories, and host discussions about why this movement is so important. You can watch the live stream here.

You can read the full We Make Events call to action below, and visit WeMakeEvents.Org for more information on how you can turn your profile red, where to donate, and more.
