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.

George Patakis already overcrowded re-election bandwagon before it leaves town without them. Speaker after speaker glorified the governor as an effective leader and touted his record of achievements; specifically, his leadership in making health care more accessible to all New York families. Patakis dedication to the needs of small businesses and minority business owners across the Empire State was highlighted, as well as efforts to provide them with resources to bolster economic development. Those who jumped on the Pataki bandwagon last Thursday were representatives from the broad and diverse support base of the governor, which he secured as a result of policies that resonate with people across the Empire State. They also came from a wide variety of backgrounds, including business, education, law, law enforcement, medicine, journalism and the clergy. Detective Jacqueline Parris, president of the 6,500-member Guardians Association, a fraternal group of Black police officers, said the organizations endorsement of the governor is based on a whole list of issues. Parris cited Patakis outspoken support of police officers and his dedication to fighting crime. She added that the governors programs, such as expanding access to affordable housing and quality healthcare, are also of great importance to the Guardians Association. Parris said that Pataki has been a strong leader for the Guardians and all New Yorkers, and that the association is confident that, if re-elected, the governor would do more. Speaking for Patakis West Indian supporters, Dr. Roy Hastick Sr., president of the Caribbean American Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said he was impressed by the strong backing shown for the governor. Gov. Pataki has made a big difference for all New Yorkers due to his record of investment in education, providing thousands of New Yorkers with access to affordable housing and health care, and making the right decisions to grow our economy and create jobs, Hastick said. Organizers of last Thursdays endorsement said it was a continuation of the drumbeat of unified and diverse support for the governor that started two Saturdays ago when he formally threw his hat into the ring for re-election.
