LightParts Glows Red for #RedAlertRESTART LightParts joined our colleagues across the US at 9:00pm on September 1, lighting the mighty LightParts world headquarters located in Austin, Texas in red as part of the #WeMakeEvents RedAlertRESTART event. This event included over 1,500 buildings lit in red across the nation to draw attention to the plight of the entertainment industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic. LightParts is strongly supportive of the RedAlertRESTART campaign to raise awareness of the issues facing our friends who worked at live events, and to press the US Congress to pass the RESTART Act (S.3814), which aims to bring relief to the hard hit people of the entertainment business. Robert Mokry of LightParts says, "According to statistics, live events is an $877 billion industry. 77% of people in the live events industry have lost 100% of their income, 97% of 1,099 workers have lost their jobs, and 96% of companies have cut staff and/or wages. We were among the first to close and will likely be among the last to recover. We need help from Congress NOW! LightParts is humbled to do our little part to help bring attention to the RESTART Act. We urge all our colleagues and friends to continue to flood your Congressional representatives with email and personal messages, reiterating the need to pass the RESTART Act ASAP. Don't let up. We can't wait much longer." For more info, email parts@lightparts.com or call 512-873-7106. ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
