These changes come shortly after thousands of Dutch protestors hit the streets on September 11, in support of the “Unmute Us” initiative. These protests were held to draw international attention to the ongoing shutdown of the nightlife industry throughout the pandemic. The protests drew over 150,000 people across the country, for what was deemed their largest protest in history.
