UPDATE: This thing is getting big. Fort Worth, Dallas and cities across North Texas are ready to cheer — tonight at 7 p.m., sharp — for health care workers, police officers, firefighters, park rangers, code officers, workers providing essential services and all others who are helping respond to the spread of the coronavirus. “Mayor [Eric] Johnson came up with this idea," says Fort Worth mayor Betsy Price, "and I called him and I said, ‘How about we do this together, Eric? We’ll do DFW.’ And he thought it was a great idea. And so now we are encouraging the other mayors to have their citizens step out at 7 p.m. and clap or cheer or turn their porch lights on to celebrate.” ORIGINAL POST: Please join us! Dallas mayor Eric Johnson has called for a citywide ovation on Thursday night for workers on the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic. The mayor wants people to step outside their front doors for about 5 minutes at 7 p.m. Thursday and cheer for health care workers, police officers, firefighters, park rangers, code officers, workers providing essential services and all others who are helping the City of Dallas respond to the spread of the coronavirus. “Dallas is working diligently to deal with this pandemic," Mayor Johnson says. "I want to set aside time for our city to show its collective appreciation for people who deal with the stress of working on our behalf while others stay home to stop the spread of COVID-19. We have heroes among us, and they deserve to know they have supporters all around them." Please cheer respectfully, tomorrow, Aril 16, at 7 p.m. sharp. The Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty family will be there, across North Texas — where we work, serve, live and love! #inthistogether
