Title A name given to the resource "Voices That Must Be Heard" Articles Description An account of the resource 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.

Moreover, Bloomberg is losing support in the Korean community, mainly because of the tobacco tax increase and his proposed ban on smoking in restaurants and bars. As a result, an umbrella organization will be organized, or an old one resuscitated, to work against the mayors arbitrary policies. Sung-soo Kim, president of the New York Korean American Small Business Center, says that it is very likely that the Small Business Association will be reorganized because several of Bloombergs bills disregard the position of small businesses. The Small Business Association, which Sung-soo Kim was once chairman of, was established in 1992. Then, it included business owners of Korean, Caucasian, Hispanic, and Chinese descent. However, financial problems forced it to stop operating. We cannot keep watching Mayor Bloombergs self-assertive, stubborn and cruel direction, Kim aid. If every small businessman in New York City, as well as every Korean, unites to speak with one voice, the mayor cannot do more. In 1996, the Small Business Association successfully limited the expansion of mega stores, which was then the greatest threat to small businesses. They also successfully lobbied against irrational laws harmful to small businesses. Its not just the tobacco bill. The Bloomberg administration is executing a tough quarter system to the various tickets toward small businesses, and many small businesses are suffering with this, said Kim. The preparatory meeting for the revival of the association is scheduled for early next month; the inauguration is anticipated in mid-September. If the Association is reorganized, President Kim will survey New York City Chamber of Commerce members, asking, How much do you know about small businesses? and present the public with the results.
