I’m one of 12 million Americans who works in the live events industry. This was the first industry to shut down and will, by far, be the last to reopen. This is an important, but largely unrecognized, part of a much bigger spectrum of interdependent industries: Travel, Tourism, Hospitality, and Food & Beverage. - including a vast variety of businesses providing event venues, travel services, planning and design services, catering, audio-visual, entertainment, rentals, décor, tents, stages… and so much more. I am one of the lucky ones still working (currently), but so many of my colleagues generally tasked with creating joy and celebratory experiences and entertainment for others have watched their employment and benefits disappear. Today, I'm supporting the LIVE EVENTS COALITION in asking @SenatorMoorlach and @RepKatiePorter to include support for hardworking people in this industry (like so many others that have been impacted) in the next stimulus bill.
