LANGUAGE ACCESS PLEDGE

FACT: 13% of the resident population in the District of Columbia is foreign born, and 7% of the District’s resident population speaks English “less than very well.” The DC Language Access Act of 2004 provides District residents who have difficulty communicating in English or are unable to communicate in English the right to receive oral and written language services in their language from the District government.

I hereby pledge to continue to learn more about my rights under the DC Language Access Act of 2004.
