About Your Voices:

KIRO 7 is partnering with T-Mobile on Your Voices - a celebration of all the local races and cultures that make up Western Washington. Look for new celebrations each month, and if there’s a person, organization, or month you’d like to see featured, please email us at yourvoices@kiro7.com.

This Month We Celebrate

Military Appreciation Month

Military members serve our community all year long, and each May, we celebrate their service and sacrifice.  Particularly this year, as many military members remain on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic. We encourage you to recognize and thank this diverse community for their service and learn more here. 

Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month

We also encourage you to honor, celebrate and support our AAPI community during Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and you can learn more here. We recognize and pay tribute to the generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. They have contributed so much to our country and Western Washington. 

 

Take some time to learn, give back by volunteering, or participate in a community celebration. You will see there are many ways to share Your Voices in May.

Western Washington Gets Real

Western Washington Gets Real is KIRO7’s commitment to having difficult conversations about race and equality. We will dig deep into important issues; from housing, healthcare and education to policing, immigration, and voting. Beyond just highlighting where or how racism exists, Western Washington Gets Real is a chance to learn from each other, to celebrate our differences, and create greater understanding. We’re committed to covering stories that matter to all members of our community, and to amplifying often marginalized voices. Everyone deserves to be heard. Visit the Western Washington Gets Real Page to see more stories about these important issues, as well as Your Voices stories celebrating the different races and cultures that make up our community. On that page, you will also find additional resources and information.
