3. Hear back from us
We’ll tell you what happened within 30 days, if you give us your email or phone number.
You can report without giving your name. But if you don’t give us your name we can not ask you questions or tell you what happened.
It’s important to make sure all departments are providing language access. So we report every year on Language Access in San Francisco.
