Thank you for signing this petition for a COVID-19 Solidarity Fund for Performers.

We are now ready to present our petition to the EU. We will be sending it to the Commission President, the Council President and the Presidency.

We will include a link to the #PayPerformers Facebook page. If you would like to add a video message to the EU and your national government, please upload it to the Facebook page.

If you want to record a video message, we suggest,

- Talk straight to the camera, as if you are talking to the Commission President or Culture Minister

- Talk in your own language

- Post the video to our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/PayPerformers

Here is a draft text of a video message

“Hello. The COVID-19 pandemic has hit [country]’s performers especially hard. We were the first to have our events cancelled and we will be the last to be able to get back to work. Many of us will have no income for many months. Please help us.”

But feel free to say whatever you want!

We are hoping that the EU will set up a fund that can be distributed by national governments.

Thank you.
