Zine tells story of rent-burdened South Asians

Cambridge Day: Zine tells story of rent-burdened South Asians

Camberville South Asian Leadership Training (C-SALT) members released a zine featuring stories about rent burdens facing their community  at the Cambridge Community Center last Saturday.

The zine, a digital publication, reflected data gathered during seven months of canvassing by C-SALT. It was meant to draw attention to the economic burden rent is creating for South Asians in Cambridge, particularly working-class tenants. Notably, 64% of surveyed South Asian renters were cost-burdened, with Afghan and Bengali families the most vulnerable.
