Everyday experiences. Shared knowledge. Practical possibilities.
Project details: San Leandro · Cantonese listening session · August 19, 2026
Public report available
On August 19, 2026, Cantonese-speaking community members gathered in San Leandro to talk about very hot weather. They shared experiences from home, work, travel, and the places where they spend time.
The public reporting hub brings these accounts together with findings and an explanation of how the material was interpreted.

Heat changes the shape of a day
The conversation explored how people adjust routines, experience heat indoors, and think about places where they can cool down. Accounts also raised questions about whether available support fits the realities of daily life.
Some experiences came from elsewhere in the Bay Area or beyond. The report preserves that context rather than treating every account as a description of San Leandro alone.
Read, explore, and look closer
The reporting hub offers a readable report, a way to explore findings, information about methods, and available downloads. Readers can examine the relationship between the findings and the different kinds of contributions behind them.

One conversation, with its own context
The accounts describe the people who contributed to this listening session. They do not speak for every Cantonese-speaking resident or establish the prevalence of an experience across the wider community.
The public edition includes methods and limitations so readers can use the findings with that context in mind.
Keep the conversation going
Questions, corrections, and different perspectives can help readers understand the work. If you are referring to a particular finding or passage, include its title or page link when you contact us.
