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.

The concert was a fundraiser for a local group fighting a proposed power plant on Greenpoints waterfront. Building a power plant on someones backyard is just another form of terrorism, Smith told Nowy Dzienniks reporter. Smith, known as the number one poet of the punk rock movement, played for free. So did the bands Hammil on Trial, Vic Thrill and Hugh Pool, all of which performed at the benefit. The Greenpoint-Williamsburg Waterfront Task Force raised $21,000 at the Saturday concert. It was the first of a series of events planned to support the Task Force, which is working to stop an independent developer from building a power plant in Williamsburg. The audience loved Pattis performance and enthusiastically applauded at the singer-activists remarks. Smith expressed her opposition to the treatment of American Talib John Walker Lindhs case, and called for a fair verdict in his trial. The artist did have some nice things to say about the Polish National Home and its tenant, Club Warsaw, established in 2001 by Antoni and Mark Chroscielewski and Steve Weitzman.
