                <text>The Independent Press Association (IPA) translates articles from the ethnic press (when necessary) and distributes them via web and fax newsletter to mainstream and ethnic press, government offices, nonprofits, and interested individuals.  Voices That Must be Heard was designed by the Independent Press Association staff in New York City in response to the horrifying events of September 11.  After Sept. 11th, Voices focused on the South Asian, Arab and Middle Eastern communities in New York. Since February 2002, the project has expanded, selecting articles from the broad range of ethnic and community newspapers throughout the city. Here, the Archive has preserved the Voices collection from its inception until November 2002.</text>

            <text>Korean-American Association of Flushing is leading a street cleaning campaign. On Nov. 13th, at 7 a.m. the Korean-American Association of Flushing started cleaning the area from Union Street at Northern Blvd. to Roosevelt Ave. They decided to clean the area on a regular basis, with help from Korean churches.

To do this, the Association has hired a Korean and a Mexican cleaning crew. They will clean the areas of the Flushing Municipal Parking area covering most of Union Street from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Chang-hun Kim, chairman of the Korean-American Association of Flushing, said, Cleaning streets in the morning makes me feel refreshed and really good, especially on Union Street, where Korean shops are concentrated. I find it worthwhile to clean that area. He also added, I hope that with this campaign, Korean people will feel proud of themselves for serving the community, and other ethnic people will feel good about Korean businesses and Korean people. 

On this day of the street cleaning campaign, in addition to the Korean American Association of Flushing, The Council of Korean Churches of New York, Siloam Presbyterian Church, Young Nak Presbyterian Church, New Millennium United Methodist Church, The Church of Light and Salt participated in the campaign. Also, John Liu, city councilman, Suk-joo Kim of the Korean-American Association of NY, and Seung-yol Lee, chairman of the Korean-American Senior Citizen Association of NY, were among the 30 participants.

The organizations were provided with $300 from the Kumgang San Restaurant in Flushing, to pay for the cleaning equipment and facilities from New York City Sanitation Department (NYSD), bread and drinks from Canaan Bakery and lunch from Sanhaeginmi Food.

These businesses and the NYSD will continue to support the Korean-American Association of Flushing in the upcoming cleaning of this area. Voluntary members from Korean churches will engage in the cleaning campaign.
