SKYLINE IN RED: If you look across Elliott Bay tonight, you might see signs of this:

With theatres, music venues, sporting arenas, and other live events venues shut indefinitely, local workers are taking part in a national day of action to bring attention to an industry on the brink.

On September 1, venues across Seattle will be lit up in red as part of the #WeMakeEvents #RedAlert Day of Action. Displaced entertainment workers and live event companies are calling for additional economic relief, including an extension of the expired $600/week unemployment benefits and passage of the RESTART Act with added labor protections.

Without action, workers fear not only for their own future but for the survival of the Live Events Industry as a whole. Action is needed to preserve this invaluable public good and to ensure once the pandemic is over that the show will go on.
