Boston

The South Asian Workers’ Center (SAWC) has been engaging community members at their bimonthly Chai Adda (conversational meetings over chai tea) to discuss physical and mental health, well-being, COVID-19 vaccines, and the anti-Asian racism they are facing. Throughout the fall, SAWC organized three mobile COVID-19 vaccine clinics, resulting in 90 people getting vaccinated. They also continue to do COVID-19 outreach as part of DPH's Get Boosted campaign.
