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 protesters expressed their feelings toward the mayor through posters. I pay my part. Mike Bloomberg, keep the budget just, said one. Another demanded, Impose taxes on the rich and dont take our jobs away. The budget was approved with $1.7 million in cuts and now he wants to make more cuts. Mayor Mike, you have made enough cuts! said Sophie McCarthy, co-director of the Working Families Party which organized the protest. This protest happened days after the NYC Office of Management and Budget sent a letter to all the local commission agencies asking them to implement an additional cut of 7.5 percent to their budget. Bloomberg reverts to old tactics from the 70s of drastic cuts and massive layoffs. We cannot go back to old days when citizens where given poor service. We cannot risk repeating the mistakes of the past. No more layoffs! said Mark Rosenthal, president of Local 983, AFSCME DC 37, a union that represents thousands of city workers. For Dominican Yoralis Vidal, of the organization Making the Road by Walking, the reduction of city workers generates fewer services for immigrants. With these cuts, vital services like English as a second language (ESL), translation services in hospitals and welfare offices would be reduced, and we would be very affected, said Vidal, a Brooklyn activist. The protest relied on the support of Council Members Robert Jackson, Bill de Blasio, David Weprin, Bill Perkins, Gail Brewer, and Christine Quinn, and Assemblyman Dick Gafrey.
