Hello everyone,
We're coming up on our final push to get congressional action before the end of the month. We believe that Wednesday 9/23 is a deadline for actionable change and that whatever bill comes out of this session will drop on Friday 9/25. Therefore, we have an IMMEDIATE need for a final push from as many people as we can.
Below is our plan for a social media campaign that requires every person in the industry to act upon and share with others. Our goal is to reach every Senator and every Representative in the country!

GOAL:
Flood Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with the next round of photos @TAGGING Senators' and Representatives’ Social Media Accounts.

THE ASK:
Put up a photo of yourselves at an event (or a photo of their favorite event) - whether it be at a concert, a theatrical performance, a bar show, a wedding! Tell the story of the photo - Get engaged? First Concert? Best concert ever? Post the photo, tell the story, use the hashtag, tag your local rep, and tag WeMakeEvents North America

If you're a venue or production company, post a photo of a sold out show in your space and include a photo from your RedAlert participation on 9/1, if you have it, with a similar storied caption, the hashtags and tagging.

DATE: Start NOW so that we get as much participation as possible before our critical dates next week of 9/23 and 9/25.

Steps:

  1. Find your picture
  2. Find your local politicians' social media handles - google or one of the two links below
  3. Tell your brief story (about the picture)
  4. Add the hashtags: #TheTimeIsNow #WeMakeEvents #RedAlertRESTART #ExtendPUA #DoNotAbandonUs
  5. Tag your politicians
  6. Tag WeMakeEvents North America (Facebook: @We Make Events North America , Twitter: @WeMakeEvents_NA Instagram: @wemakeeventsnorthamerica )
  7. Ask everyone you know to do the same - individuals, companies, venues, etc.

SAMPLE POST FOR INDIVIDUALS:

This is me at the Verona Arena on tour with Black Sabbath in 2016. In all of my years of touring, I have never been to a venue like this. It was incredible walking through history and then seeing a modern-day concert put in that same venue. #TheTimeIsNow We need to pass the RESTART Act and to extend and expand PUA and FPUC to help everyone affected by the loss of our 877 BILLION DOLLAR Entertainment Industry.

The SENATE VOTES THIS WEEK! #TheTimeIsNOW! Let’s make sure we are included. Contact Congress to let them know we need them to pass the RESTART Act and Extend and Expand PUA and FPUC. Find the forms at www.wemakeevents.org.

SAMPLE POST FOR VENUES/PRODUCTION COMPANIES:

The Metallica show at Madison Square Garden on 11/20/2019 drew a sold out crowd! The energy was electric and the fans loved it! We need to pass the RESTART Act and to extend and expand PUA and FPUC to help our industries businesses and workers ride through this challenging time until we can get back to what we love to do.
