Bringing together people of different faiths and sexual orientations to stand united against hate, intolerance and violence seems to me a step in the right direction.
And that’s exactly what KMIR Palm Springs, Calif., is doing tomorrow night by inviting the public to attend a special gathering with the Palm Springs mayor and officials of both the LGBT and Islamic communities, as well as other local faith and community leaders, in downtown Palm Springs.
So I applaud the special planned by KMIR and KPSE, Standing United, airing tomorrow night at 6:30 in Palm Springs on KMIR. Encore presentations will air tomorrow night at 9 and 10 on KPSE.
KMIR and KPSE are the NBC and MyNetworkTV affiliates in Palm Springs owned by OTA Broadcasting.
Standing United will be streamed live on KMIR.com, available on Facebook LIVE and will air with no commercial interruptions.
“The tragedy in Orlando strikes a chord in all valley residents and we felt it was important to spend some time addressing the significant issues related to the shooting,” said Gene Steinberg, KMIR’s general manager.
“We heard the community loud and clear at Sunday night’s vigil in Palm Springs,” said David Reese, KMIR’s news director.
“They want to come together after this tragedy and KMIR News is committed to doing our part to make that happen.”
