Here's the great text to accompany your
profile pic getting tinted red. When you choose your photo on facebook, there's a spot for a description to accompany the change, just copy and paste the below text into that description.
Our industry is on Red Alert
The live events industry is on the brink of collapse with no help in sight!
Today we come out of the shadows and make our voices heard!
If you love
Theatre, Concerts, Sporting Events, LIVE EVENTS... then show support on Sept 1st by tinting your
profile photo red! Post a photo of you either working a gig or (if you don’t work in the industry) post a photo of you enjoying an event that we help make happen.
