With our partners in San Francisco’s Language Access Network (LAN), CAA passed critical amendments to the Language Access Ordinance, strengthening the city’s commitment to providing vital information and services in multiple languages. These amendments lowered the City’s official language threshold from 10,000 to 6,000, making Vietnamese, along with Chinese, Spanish, and Tagalog, an official certified language for the first time! Together, we enshrined the universal right to be served in the language you are most comfortable with, and codified access to telephonic interpretation and written translation.
