RED ALERT : LIVE EVENTS in support of Entertainment and Arts Workers

 

Live Events Industry Has Organized Movement for Buildings

 And Venues Nationwide to Light up Red in Support of

Entertainment and Arts Workers

PHILADELPHIA LOCATIONS WILL INCLUDE THE SUZANNE ROBERTS  THEATRE, THE PENNSYLVANIA

CONVENTION CENTER, THE KIMMEL CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, LIVE NATION VENUES, AND MORE

  Philadelphia members of local chapters of event, stage, and venue organizations are banding together and imploring the US Congress to offer economic relief to the Live Events Industry by passing the RESTART ACT (S.3814.) Shuttered since March 2020, putting millions of people out of work, the industry is organizing a national ‘Red Start’ campaign on September 1, 2020 when buildings, venues and iconic locations in Philadelphia and nationwide will light up red from 9 pm  to 12 midnight to raise public awareness that the Live Events Industry is on Red Alert for its very survival and to create congressional pressure to act now. The North American event comes on the heels of a similar event held on August 11 in the UK  when over 700 buildings were lit, calling attention to the same plight facing the Live Events Industry there.
