Join Us For UK Creative Demonstration September 29th
Join Us For Global Action Day September 30th
UK… STAND AS ONE! In 29th September, leading into the global day of action, a 30 minute silent demonstration will be held outside of UK Parliament in London. Stand together to demand financial support for the freelancers, full time employees and business owners affected by the shut down of events. You are encouraged to bring a non-political placard explaining your plight.
Head to the news page on our website to register for the day and to find out more details.
See you outside parliament! #wemakeevents
Help us gather vital data on the health of our sector's workforce by completing our short survey today! You'll find the link in our bio.
We want to know how many of your staff are furloughed and whether you are planning on making redundancies.
The results will be used in upcoming meetings with government to help them understand the scale of livelihoods at risk and the increasingly critical condition of our industry.
This survey is strictly anonymous and closes midday on Wednesday 23 September.

France lights it in red! Synpase, France's union of production employees and freelancers, lit the country's iconic buildings in red throughout the week to call attention to the need for government support for our sector, which has lost 80% of revenues since march.
Congratulations to our French colleagues, who gained national coverage for the campaign!
