On this episode, we discuss #wemakeevents, who is most affected in our industry, what we are advocating for, what we can do as entertainment workers, what concertgoers can do to show support, how we can return to our industry, how we can show solidarity, and the very real tragic loss of our industry.
On September 1st, 2020, #WeMakeEvents, a coalition of trade bodies, businesses, unions, and live events workers, will light up their venues, homes, and cities red in over 1,500 locations across North America to raise public and media awareness in support of the live events sector. Will you join us?
