Residents of Dallas are encouraged to come together Tuesday night (while practicing social distancing) to say thank you.
A "moment of loudness" is scheduled at 6 p.m. to salute those who are on the front lines of fighting COVID-19.
A social media post, which started circulating over the weekend, is asking Dallasites to celebrate healthcare professionals, grocery store employees, truck drivers and other essential workers by cheering for them as loudly as they can.
Similar movements have recently been seen across the country and the world, as people step outside, applaud and take a moment the make noise for essential workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
The post reads: “As a salute to those fighting COVID-19 on the front lines, let’s get loud as a community and celebrate their bravery! At 6 p.m. step outside and create loud cheer… clap your hands, ring a bell, or bang some pots and pans for ALL to hear!"
Make sure to share your videos of Tuesday night's #MomentofLoudness by tagging WFAA on social media or submitting them to digital@wfaa.com.
