Since 1987, the Asian Community Development Corporation (ACDC) has worked to build and preserve over 300 homes in Chinatown and the Greater Boston area. After 2 years of virtual dim sum, Mayor Wu joins in-person with the ACDC community to help honor key leaders who have exemplified the ACDC mission through their work.
A
I
know
some
of
you
are
just
getting
seated,
so
please
find
your
seat
sit
down
and
get
ready
for
a
wonderful
program.
First
of
all,
welcome
to
the
first
asian
community
development
corporations
in
person
deem
some
breakfast
in.
Are
you
ready
for
this
three
years?
Can
you
believe
it?
I
know.
A
It's
been
a
really
tough
time.
It's
been
sad
and
it's
been
scary,
especially
for
many
of
us
in
this
community,
but
you
know
today
we
are
going
to
be
aware
of
what
happened
in
the
past,
but,
more
importantly,
we
are
going
to
celebrate
we're
going
to
celebrate
without
iphones,
without
ipads,
without
computer
screens.
We're
actually
going
to
look
at
each
other,
especially
now
that
we
can
take
our
masks
off.
So
we
can
eat
and
recognize
all
the
folks
that
we've
known
for
so
long
and
perhaps
we've
forgotten
because
of
everything
that's
happened.
A
The
pandemic
may
have
shut
down
a
lot
of
businesses
and
a
lot
of
organizations,
but
ac
dc
is
not
one
of
them.
It
has
not
only
survived,
but
it's
been
really
really
busy.
It
recently
purchased
the
building
over
by
the
chinatown
gate,
64
to
68
beech
street
and
after
there
it's
renovated
yep.
A
Those
units
will
be
income
restricted,
an
even
bigger
coup,
I
think
for
ac
dc
is
that
it
recently
was
a
name:
the
developer,
developer
of
that
parcel
of
land.
That's
right
behind
the
china
town
cafe,
that
is
where
tyler,
hudson
and
holland
all
intersect,
and
not
only
will
there
be
a
hundred,
affordable
units
in
there,
but,
more
importantly,
drumroll,
please,
a
permanent
chinatown
branch
of
the
boston
public
library.
A
I
know
how
long
have
we
been
talking
about
this
decades.
I
remember
very,
very
vividly
having
a
conversation
with
then
house,
speaker,
sal
dimacey,
and
you
know
how
long
ago
that
was
about
something
happening.
They
have
been
negotiating
they've,
been
drafting,
they've,
been
doing
compromises
and
a
lot
of
those
hopes
went
down
the
dream,
but
not
anymore.
It's
actually
happened
and
thank
you.
Ac
dc
for
making
this
c
come
to
fruition.
A
A
It
is
sort
of
become
a
very
major
community
gathering
place
for
not
only
young
children,
but
for
our
elders
and
folks
in
between
to
be
able
to
sit
to
chat
and
to
commune
together
and
if
you'd
like
to
have
a
memory
of
this
day,
please
go
out
there
and
our
photographer
will
be
taking
photos.
Hopefully
the
rain
has
stopped.
I
talked
to
cindy
fitzgibbon
some
morning.
She
promised,
after
this
event,
is
over.
A
It's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
fine,
so
let's
get
the
show
started
and
who
better
to
lead
off
than
someone
who
could
not
better
represent
our
community,
our
city
but,
most
importantly,
ac
dc's
interests.
Now
I
have
to
tell
you
I've
known
michelle
for
a
little
while,
but
once
she
became
officially
the
mayor.
A
I
had
to
support,
put
my
cynical
reporters
cap
on
and
you
know
be
a
little
bit
more
critical,
but
I
have
to
be
honest,
not
much
to
criticize
she's
doing
a
bang-up
job,
especially
in
just
a
few
months,
and
we
are
really
lucky
to
have
her
here
joining
us
today.
So
please,
a
very
warm
welcome
for
mayor
michelle
wood.
B
Good
morning,
everyone,
it
is
incredible
to
see
you
all
here
in
person
back
together.
This
is
one
of
my
favorite
events
every
year
and
it's
because
it's
a
chance
to
celebrate
our
community,
all
of
the
incredible
accomplishments
and
progress
and
work,
that's
happened
and
the
vision
that
we
have
moving
forward
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Janet
wu
is
a
treasure
for
our
community
as
well
we're
so
so
lucky
to
have
her
pushing
all
of
us
and
asking
the
hard
questions.
B
I
think
it
might
have
been
actually
at
this
event
or
a
similar
event
where
she
was
emceeing,
something
important
for
our
community
that
I
met
janet
and
it's
always
made
those
media
appearances.
It's
a
little
less
scary.
Only
a
little
congratulations
to
the
honorees
today
as
well.
I
am
so
humbled
to
be
here
to
thank
them
for
their
work.
I
am
very
proud.
Lately.
I've
been
rocking
a
maymay
dumpling
bag,
as
my
my
go-to
carry
bag
and
and
so
always
so
exciting
to
see
irene
everywhere.
Oh
thank
you
for
all
you're
doing
for
our
community.
B
I
got
to
carpool
over
here
with
dr
ashisha
a
leading
light
in
from
the
greater
boston
area
who's
now
casting
that
light
nationally,
and
can't
wait
to
see
that
all
he
continues
to
do
for
our
country.
Most
of
all,
thank
you
to
all
of
our
community
members
here
who
show
up
to
represent
chinatown
the
larger
aapi
community,
the
work
that
acdc
does
every
single
day
to
close
gaps
in
our
city
and
to
lay
a
foundation
for
a
future
that
includes
everyone.
B
I
never
expected
to
be
in
a
role
like
this.
I
never
expected
to
to
land
in
a
city
and
stay
in
boston
after
school,
but
chinatown
really
became
that
connection
point
that
anchored
made
boston
more
than
just
some
buildings
and
actually
a
home.
That
is
what
this
organization
strives
to
do.
Every
single
day
make
it
that
families
can
thrive
here
and
can
afford
to
stay
here
and
build
a
life
here.
That
is
a
direct
investment
in
each
and
every
one
of
our
futures,
and
so
we're
incredibly
grateful
for
all
that.
Acdc
is
doing.
B
C
C
I
am
very
grateful
that
we
can
all
gather
once
again
here
in
chinatown
in
our
community
and
share
dim
sum
and
celebrate
together
before
I
share
with
you,
the
updates
on
ac
dc's
work
over
the
past
year.
I
would
like
to
extend
a
special
thank
you
to
our
community
builder
level,
sponsors,
maloney
properties
and
silicon
valley
bank,
both
of
which
have
been
long-time
supporters
and
partners
of
acdc
and
my
sincere
gratitude
to
all
other
other
sponsors
and
supporters
for
making
this
event
possible
and
for
continuing
your
support
of
acdc's
critical
programs
in
the
asian
community.
C
C
C
C
C
Lastly,
it
cannot
overstate
the
impact
on
mental
health
that
the
pandemic
has
had
on
the
communities
we
serve
and
the
sense
of
isolation.
Our
residents
feel
acdc's
creative
place,
keeping
work
seeks
to
create
a
sense
of
belonging
through
storytelling
and
art
our
place,
keeping
efforts
bring
power
among
residents
by
enabling
them
to
work
alongside
artists
to
co-create,
meaningful
art
projects
and
installations.
C
D
Good
morning,
everybody
so
like
janet
and
angie
and
mayor
wu,
I'm
really
excited
to
welcome
you
back
this
morning.
It's
so
nice
to
be
back
in
person
after
two
years
of
virtual
dim
sums.
Dim
sum
is
definitely
better
in
person
right
right.
In
fact,
dim
sum
is
my
favorite
food
group.
This
is
the
third
consecutive
day,
I'm
having
dim
sum
for
lunch.
D
When
we
were
doing
the
commit
community
visioning
for
this
whole
site,
the
community
said
we
would
like
you
to
set
aside
some
community
space,
and
this
is
what
we
set
up
in
response
to
that
when
we
planned
the
building
and
we
were
really
grateful
to
be
able
to
partner
with
bcnc
bunker
hill
community
college,
the
pow
art
center
to
make
this
space
a
reality.
D
It
was
a
12-year
journey
of
grassroots
organizing
community
visioning,
as
I
mentioned
advocacy
to
the
city
and
the
state,
and
with
that
ac
dc
was
able
to
partner
with
a
private
developer,
to
build
the
three
buildings
along
here.
The
high
rise
at
the
end,
one
greenway
is
212
units
of
mark
of
market
rate
rentals.
D
Back
in
those
days,
my
family
lived
at
96
and
then
104
hudson
street
toward
the
far
end
of
the
affordable
home
ownership
units
down
the
street
and
back
then
hudson
street
was
made
up
of
three-story
brick
row
houses
on
both
sides
and
in
those
days
before
air
conditioning
video
games
or
even
much
tv,
the
residents
gathered
on
their
stoops
residents,
like
my
mother
and
all
of
her
friends
and
all
of
our
friends.
They
gathered
on
the
stoops
to
socialize
and
to
watch
over
the
kids
playing
in
the
streets.
D
So
the
chinatown
stoop
project
that
angie
mentioned
is
really
an
effort
to
sort
of
bring
back
that
feeling
of
togetherness
that
the
residents
had
and
for
me
it's
so
meaningful
to
see
that
installation
and
to
see
you
know
current
day,
residents
sitting
together,
socializing
getting
to
know
each
other
and
recreating
that
sense
of
community.
D
So
I
guess
I
could
reminisce
forever,
but
I
guess
I
have
to
stop
now.
I'm
going
to
turn
back
over
to
angie
to
to
proceed
with
the
program,
but
thank
you.
F
Stoop
culture
is
when
the
public
feels
really
personal,
so
it's
when
you're
outside
on
steps
you're
outside
on
a
park,
but
it
actually
feels
like
an
extension
of
your
home
and
that's
because
of
the
people
who
are
out
there
with
you
in
the
1950s.
Hudson
street
was
like
the
front
stoop
of
chinatown.
That's
what
one
of
the
old
residents
used
to
say.
You
saw
kids
playing
out
in
the
street,
they
were
aunties
gossiping
on
stoops
and
that's
really
the
stupid
culture.
F
That
was
in
that
time
where
neighbors
were
out,
and
it
would
even
take
somebody
30
minutes
to
walk
down.
The
block
is
what
I've
been
told,
but
the
highway
in
the
1950s
and
60s
came
and
tore
down
all
the
houses
and
really
pour
apart
that
social
fabric
that
connected
the
neighborhood
hudson
street
street
project
is
really
about
creating
a
modern
day
stew.
How
can
we
bring
back
the
extended
family
feel
if
we
have
a
space
where
people
can
gather
and
talk?
Does
it
actually
improve?
How
much
you
know
your
neighbor.
I
H
F
Whole
process
started
with
visioning
workshops
where
residents
got
to
share
what
they
want
to
see
and
if
this
space
felt
like
it
belonged
to
them.
What
would
it
look
like,
and
then
we
hosted
a
series
of
storytelling
workshops
where
we
asked
different
residents
on
hudson
street
to
come
together
and
share
what.
F
Has
been,
how
are
we
similar,
even
though
our
experiences
or
backgrounds
might
be
different
and
through
all
the
storytelling
sessions?
The
artists
actually
got
the
residence
stories
and
put
them
into
the
actual
installation
in
the
swingbox.
So,
on
the
back,
you'll
see
snippets
of
stories
that
residents
shared
in
these
storytelling
sessions
and
then,
after
that
series
we
had
a
bunch
of
fun
summer
events.
So
all
these
summer
projects
and
events
were
planned
by
residents
on
this
block
and
youth
in
the
neighborhood.
G
Living
on
hudson
street,
since
the
swings
have
been
installed
like
I
said,
it's
definitely
felt
more
of
a
community.
There
are
more
people
that
come
from
all
over
and
will
kind
of
come
by
and
sit
out,
and
I'm
just
enjoying.
You
know
whether
it's
raining
or
you
know,
whatever
the
weather
is
I've
seen
people
out
there
just
enjoying
what
this
space
has
to
offer.
I.
G
People
that
just
interacting
and
it's
a
beautiful
interaction
like
you
can
see
the
love
you
can
see.
You
know
what
I
mean
the
hope
that
just
like
all
of
it
just
coming
together
and
just
watching
it,
I'm
like
wow,
like
just
this
one
piece
of
art
that
they
brought
to
the
community
has
brought
so
many
other
different
things.
That's
positive
for
the
neighborhood
that
we've
all
been
waiting
for.
H
H
F
F
Your
grandma
went
here
even
before
the
highway
and
you're
a
new
resident,
you
just
moved
into
town
with
a
school
or
a
new
job,
and
you
can
get
together
and
actually
create
a
vision
for
the
neighborhood
one
that
honors
the
collective
history
and
memories
here,
one
that
also
is
hopeful
for
how
we
can
bridge
divides
and
be
good
neighbors
to
each
other.
That
is
really
the
future
of
hudson
street
that,
through
these
projects
that
we're
actually
creating
lifelong
connections
that
aren't
dependent
on
staff
or
projects,
but
really
it's
a
network
of
relationships.
G
The
future
is
to
have
things
like
this
or
have
more
things
that
involve
the
community
and
that
kids
and
adults
all
of
us
together
can
enjoy
as
a
community.
C
Now
I
have
the
pleasure
to
introduce
our
inspiration
award
honoree
when
the
pandemic
hit.
Dr
moreno
lynn
needed
a
bag
of
flour,
but
her
local
grocery
stores
were
all
out.
So
she
contacted
her
good
friend
chef,
tracy
chang
of
pagu
restaurant,
who
ordered
a
50-pound
bag
from
her
supplier
for
dillary
the
next
day.
C
By
june
of
that
year,
this
collaboration
became
known
as
project
restore
us
through
two
years
of
uncertainty.
Project
restore
us
responded
to
call
after
call
for
help
securing
groceries
for
communities
with
limited
access
to
high
quality
and
culturally
appropriate
foods,
including
chinatown
and
fields
corner.
J
Thank
you
so
much
angie
and
I'm
delighted
to
accept
this
award
on
behalf
of
my
extremely
deserving
and
much
harder
working,
co-founders,
tracy,
marina
and
lily.
We
have
also
worked
with
dozens
of
community-based
organizations,
including
the
brazilian
workers
center,
the
chinese
progressive
association,
viet
aid,
the
dudley
street
neighborhood
initiative,
all
people
who
have
built
the
incredibly
strong
and
trusting
relationships
that
made
it
possible
for
us
to
get
groceries
to
people's
doorsteps.
J
Our
mission
at
project
restore
us
is
to
serve
vulnerable
families
with
accessible,
culturally
appropriate
and
relevant,
affordable
and
or
free
groceries,
connecting
abundance
with
need.
Over
the
last
two
years,
we've
raised
a
million
dollars
and
converted
that
into
more
than
750
tons
of
food,
that
includes
rice,
beans,
masa
cabbage
soy,
sauce,
all
the
necessities,
and
when
I
look
back,
I
think
the
real
story
is
just
how
unlikely
all
of
this
was
in
2020.
J
I
also
loved
buying
in
bulk,
because
it's
such
a
great
deal
and
anyone
who's
been
out
to
eat
with
me
knows
that
over
ordering
is
kind
of
my
passion.
So,
just
a
couple
short
weeks
later,
we
did
that
first
delivery
to
125
latinx
families
in
everett,
and
I
have
never
received
so
many
gifts
of
the
virgin
mary.
J
We
called
the
organization
project
restore
us,
because
the
word
restaurant
comes
from
the
same
latin
root
as
the
word
restore
restaurants
are
supposed
to
be
a
place
where
you
make
yourself
whole
where
you
become
restored
again
and
in
a
situation
where
we
could
not
provide
restoration
to
our
customers.
We
looked
just
a
little
farther
afield
to
our
neighbors
and
those
who
so
often
restore
us.
The
people
who
deliver
our
groceries,
who
deliver
our
mail
and
we
found
that
community
meant
so
much
more
to
us
than
just
the
people
who
could
pay
to
eat
our
product.
J
It's
worth
noting
that
we
never
had
any
intention
of
becoming
a
registered
501c3,
which
we
now
are
or
founding
an
organization
that
would
be
led
by
four
women
of
china
of
chinese
and
taiwanese
descent.
But
here
we
are
the
product
of
eight
incredible
chinese
and
taiwanese
parents
and
16
incredible
chinese
and
taiwanese
grandparents,
and
we
honor
them
for
just
filling
us
with
with
so
much
love
and
inspiration.
So
I
couldn't
be
more
proud
of
my
co-founders
standing
here.
I
reflect
on
the
idea
of
connecting
abundance
to
need.
J
I
have
been
the
beneficiary
of
so
much
abundance,
not
just
material
but
also
an
abundance
of
love
and
energy
and
inspiration
and
dim
sum-
and
many
of
you
know
my
mom
and
so
you're
aware
that
that
is
definitely
true
standing
here.
I
also
just
am
struck
by
the
abundance
in
this
room
in
our
community
and
feel
very
inspired
to
be
here
in
front
of
all
of
you
and
with
all
of
you.
So
thank
you
again
for
this
honor.
F
I
understand
why
you're
not
saying
good
morning
back
my
mask.
Okay,
I'm
the
director
of
community
programs
and
design
at
ac
dc
and.
F
F
He
has
also
been
the
project
manager
for
acerf,
the
asian
community
emergency
relief
fund.
That's
been
a
statewide
mutual
aid
fund.
Distributing
connecting
abundance
to
need,
like
irene,
has
been
saying
so
that's
his
official
introduction
to
me
and
how
I
will
always
introduce
him
is.
He
has
been
my
godsend.
F
I
he
actually
reached
out
to
ac
dc
when
I
was
nine
months
pregnant
and
going
on
maternity
leave
any
day
now,
and
it
was
amazing
to
be
able
to
finally
find
a
volunteer
with
not
only
the
skill
sets
to
manage
a
fund
with
this
much
responsibility,
but
also
the
character,
the
dependability,
the
attention
to
detail
the
self-starter
attitude.
F
F
But
all
jokes
aside,
all
jokes
aside
john
really
does
embody
the
spirit
of
the
volunteer
award.
Can
you
hear
me
better
now?
Oh
yeah,
so
sorry
about
that.
So
all
jokes
aside,
john,
really
embodies
the
spirit
of
the
volunteer
award.
F
F
K
I'm
sorry
morning,
everyone
and
thank
you
gina
for
that
introduction.
I
did
not
know
any
of
those
things
until
just
now,
so
very,
very
surprising.
I
guess
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
gina
and
angie,
and
michelle
and
christine
you
know
all
the
integral
members
who
really
got
me
involved
with
helping
with
this
program.
K
As
gina
said,
I
am
a
researcher
at
harvard
university
and
I
have
a
background
in
infectious
disease
research.
I
actually
first
came
to
boston
over
10
years
ago
to
work
at
the
school
of
public
health,
where
I
was
working
in
the
biosafety
level.
3
lab
there
studying
airborne
pathogens
working
with
tuberculosis
and
trying
to
develop
a
novel
vaccine
for
tb.
K
To
be
honest,
I
thought
I'd
probably
stay
in
boston
for
about
two
years
and
then
move
on
ended
up
sticking
around
for
school,
and
the
reason
I
got
involved
with
ac
dc
in
the
first
place
was
because
one
of
my
first
roommates
here
in
boston
worked
at
ac
dc
and
just
sort
of
roped
me
into
some
volunteer
work.
K
You
know,
and
then
I
found
out
that
I
had
a
college
classmate
who
was
part
of
the
organization
and
then
the
last
executive
director
janelle
chan
was
also
there
working
and
she
had
been
one
of
my
close
family
friends,
college
roommates,
and
so
it
just
felt
like
a
natural
fit.
K
K
I
think
the
reason
I
reached
out
was
because
I
had
been
part
of
a
conference
at
harvard
that
was
discussing
kovid
and
a
professor
of
medicine,
just
sort
of
spoke
up
and
said
some
really
wrong
things
about
covet
and
the
research
that
was
currently
going
on,
and
I
remember
it
took
a
couple
minutes
before
I.
K
I
spoke
up
and
said
and
had
to
say
I'm
sorry
excuse
me,
but
I've
got
to
correct
you
on
the
information
that
you
have
there
and
the
paper
and
things
that
you're
referring
to,
and
it
occurred
to
me
that
you
know
if
a
harvard
medical
school,
professor
could
say
some
incorrect
things.
K
You
know
research-wise
relating
to
kovid,
discussion,
wise
and
panels,
and
and
things
like
that,
that
I've
been
invited
to
I
sort
of
realized
that
I
wasn't
doing
anything
locally.
So
what
I
actually
did
was
just
sort
of
pick
up
the
phone
and
call
janelle
chan,
the
last
executive
director
and
asked
if
there
was
a
need
in
chinatown
for
anybody
like
myself
and
she
connected
me
with
angie
and
she
then
connected
me
with
gina
and
I'm
happy
to
be
a
godsend.
That's
I'm
going
to
put
that
on
my
cv,
but
really
it.
K
I
guess.
I
want
to
say
how
I
got
into
this
role
and
the
good
and
and
the
the
real
joy
that
I
felt
from
helping
out
should
be
a
testament
to
the
fact
that
anybody
can
make
a
difference.
Anybody
can
help
your
community
be
involved
in
public
service,
and
you
know
really
it
can
start
anywhere.
You
can
pick
up
the
phone,
send
an
email
to
someone
and
just
say
how
can
I
help
and
you
know,
look
look
what
great
things
can
happen,
so
it's
really
good
to
be
back.
K
It's
it's
wonderful
to
be.
I
did
not
know
this
was
the
first
year
for
this
award
so
really
really
humbled
and
yeah.
Congratulations
on
having
this
event
again,
it's
so
great
to
see
some
new
faces
and
wonderful
and
slightly
terrifying
to
see
some
old
faces
too,
so
we'll
catch
up
later
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much
from
the
bottom.
D
D
D
D
E
Good
morning,
everybody
now
the
question
is
it's
a
huge
honor
to
be
here
and
I'm
really
very
grateful
and
I'm
hugely
grateful
to
acdc.
You
know
when
I
first
heard
about
the
award,
I
was
sure.
First
of
all,
it
was
a
mistake,
but
then,
once
I
assured
myself,
it
was
not
and
really
started
learning
more
about
ac
dc.
As
an
organization,
I
realize
it's
a
public
health
organization.
E
E
We
can
do
this
and
we
still
have
some
choppy
waters
ahead.
You
know
I
wish
I
could
say
the
pandemic
is
over.
It's
all
behind
us.
It's
not.
We
still
have
some
difficult
days
ahead.
The
virus
is
still
out
there,
so
lots
of
infections
we're
going
to
see
the
virus
evolve,
I'm
hoping
we're
all
we've
all
been
vaccinated,
you'll
probably
need
another
shot
or
two
in
the
next
year.
E
There's
a
lot
of
work
still
being
done
on
developing
the
next
generation
of
treatments.
There's
a
lot
of
work
happening,
but
the
bottom
line
is
this:
the
bottom
line
is
that
science
has
delivered
for
us
the
ability
to
protect
people
during
one
of
the
worst
pandemics
in
a
century
and
then
turning
that
science
into
shut
into
shots
and
arms
into
treatments
into
getting
people.
That
is
the
work
that
happens
at
the
community
level.
E
That
doesn't
happen
at
the
national
level,
the
national
level
you
can
do
policy,
you
can
get
money,
you
can
fund
stuff,
but
when
you
look
at
actual
impact,
it's
always
at
the
community
level,
which
is
why
I
was
so
incredibly
honored
and
pleased
to
be
awarded
this
and
and
to
come
and
spend
a
few
minutes
with
you.
I
want
to
take
a
couple
of
minutes
to
just
talk
a
bit
about
some
of
the
lessons
I
have
learned
in
this
pandemic.
E
So
far
one
is-
and
this
can
sound
really
straightforward,
but
it's
actually
a
deeper
point
than
it
sounds.
You
know
for
in
I've
been
in
public
health
for
20
years
and
when
you
think
of
public
health,
the
typical
mental
model
of
public
health
is
there's
a
problem.
You
get
the
science,
you
figure
out
what
the
right
answer
is,
and
then
you
get
it
out
to
people,
and
one
of
the
things
we've
learned
in
this
pandemic
is
that
public
health
begins
with
the
public.
E
E
E
You
can
get
those
messages
out,
but
for
people
to
actually
believe
them
for
people
to
actually
engage
in
them.
It
takes
trusted
voices
in
the
community
to
amplify
that,
and
that's
the
second
in
my
mind,
lesson
of
this
pandemic
is
that
the
best
responses
I
have
seen
across
america
and
there
are
places
that
have
done
an
extraordinary
job.
There
are
places
that
have
done
a
good
job.
E
The
best
lessons.
Oh
sorry,
not
the
best
lessons.
One
of
the
lessons
is
the
best
places
are
those
that
have
deep
partnerships
with
community
organizations
that
don't
do
public
health
so
again
in
public
health.
We
sort
of
think
you
want
to
get
vaccines
out
to
people
you
set
up
a
clinic
and
you
get
the
word
out,
and
people
show
up.
Some
people
show
up,
but
a
lot
of
people
don't
because
they
don't.
They
may
not
trust
the
health
system
they
may
not.
E
So
a
key
lesson
of
the
pandemic
has
been.
If
you
want
to
be
effective,
you've
got
to
have
deep
partnerships
with
organizations
on
the
ground,
who've
built
those
trust
trusted
relationships
over
years
and
decades,
and
I
think
too
often
in
the
policy
world
too
often
in
washington.
We
don't
pay
enough
attention
to
that
last
point.
I
want
to
quickly
make
and
then
I
want
to
talk
a
bit
about
neil
chen.
But
last
point
is
you
know
we
are
in
a
been
a
difficult
moment
in
our
country.
E
We
are
in
a
highly
polarized
moment
in
our
country
and
we
are
polarized
not
because
the
other
guys
have
it
wrong
and
we
have
it
right.
We're
polarized,
because
we
all
live
in
our
own
information
ecosystems.
We
all
live
in
information
bubbles.
E
E
You
may
not
agree
on
who
won
the
2020
election.
You
may
not
agree
on
climate
change.
You
may
not
agree
on
vaccines,
but
you
can
agree
on
basics
of
what
it
means
to
be
a
human,
and
you
begin
there
and
you
begin
with
those
relationships,
and
then
you
build
onto
all
the
other
things,
and
it
is
our
failure
to
have
done
that
in
many
ways
that
has
stifled
our
response
to
this
pandemic.
E
That's
how
we're
going
to
kind
of
build
a
common,
shared
sense
of
purpose
and
from
that
is
how
we're
going
to
get
through
the
rest
of
this
pandemic.
You
know,
there's
a
recent
study
that
was
out
that
looked
at
all
the
countries
in
the
world
and
asked
a
very
simple
question,
which
is
what
explains
why
some
countries
have
done
better
than
others
in
the
pandemic
turns
out
it's
not
income.
Wealthy
countries
didn't
do
better
than
poor
countries,
it's
not
about
having
universal
health
coverage.
E
It's
not
about
whether
you
had
a
liberal
or
a
conservative
government.
It
was
about
one
thing:
trust
people
who
trusted
government
and,
more
importantly,
people
who
trusted
other
fellow
citizens.
Countries
at
higher
levels
of
trust
did
much
much
better
in
the
pandemic.
Far
fewer
infections,
far
fewer
deaths
and
trust
begins
at
the
local
and
at
the
community
level.
So
for
all
of
you
who
do
the
work
of
building
trusts
in
communities?
Thank
you.
You
are
again
doing
the
essential
work
of
public
health.
You
know,
I
did
not
know
neil
chen.
E
Many
of
you
did
like
neil.
I
came
to
america,
as
you
heard
as
an
immigrant,
and
america
is
still
not
for
not
for
everybody
not
often
enough,
but
is
still
the
magical
place
where
the
immigrant
kid
from
my
case,
the
immigrant
kid
from
india
who
came
not
speaking
a
word
of
english,
can
end
up
working
at
the
white
house.
E
It's
still
a
magical
place
that
allows
those
of
us
in
the
asian
american
community,
but
really
around
the
country
to
be
able
to
achieve
our
goals
and
achieve
our
dreams,
and
it
is
a
job
of
all
of
us
to
make
sure
that
that
those
sets
of
opportunities
become
open
to
more
and
more
people.
Thank
you
for
this
incredible
award.
I
am
honored.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
dr
zha,
so
honored
to
have
you
in
our
midst
to
come
back
to
the
boston
area,
to
take
that
time
out
of
your
busy
schedule,
and
especially
want
to
thank
you
again
for
your
leadership
to
this
country
during
the
last
two
years.
Providing
science-based
facts
and
advice
emits
so
much
uncertainty
and
so
much
misinformation,
and
I'm
sure
many
of
us
were
also
looking
forward
to
your
continued
public
health
leadership
at
the
white
house.
C
A
Many
thanks
to
paul
and
angie
for
leading
this
organization
and
making
it
what
it
is
today
and
I
think,
making
some
real
changes
of
making
this
community
what
we
would
like
to
see
it
long
term.
Congratulations
again
to
dr
zha.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
today.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
also
thank
you
and
congratulations
to
irene
and
john.
I
think
they're,
two
wonderful
examples
of
the
younger
generation
continuing
the
mission
that
many
of
you
have
been
on
for
decades.
A
So
thank
you
to
all
of
you
as
well
two
quick
housekeeping
items.
One
is
that
in
in
addition
to
the
myriads
of
missions
that
ac
dc
is
on,
it
is
also
joining
the
environmental
emission
and
they
are
participating
in
the
chopstick
project,
a
chop
value
project.
There
is
a
bin
in
the
back
and
we
ask
you
all
to
take
your
chopsticks
and
stick
them
in
the
bin
back
there
I'm
told
it's
back
there
somewhere
and
they
will
be.
Is
it
right
over
there?
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
the
chopsticks
will
be
become
sustainable
material.
So
we
do
appreciate
you
doing
that
and
finally,
for
those
of
you,
the
weather
seems
to
be
improving.
It
looks
pretty
glum
out
there,
but
there's
no
rain.
So
if
you'd
like
to
take
a
quick
visit
to
the
hudson
street
stoop
installation
which
we've
been
talking
about
all
morning,
their
photographer
will
be
out
there
have
a
photo
taken.
We'd
love
to
see
you
part
as
a
part
of
the
memory
bank.
For
this
occasion.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
joining
us,
and
I
know
that
you
all
have
missions
beyond
just
this
breakfast
this
morning.
So
if
you'd
like
to
go
out
this
back
way,
you're
welcome
to
or
you
can
go
around
the
sideway
if
it
gets
too
crowded
and
go
up
the
sidewalk.
Thank
you
everybody
for
joining
us
and
thank
you
for
your
support.
