Know Your Rights. Make a Plan to Vote.
Your voice matters, and every vote counts! OCA is committed to protecting your right to vote. That’s why we’ve sued the Department of Homeland Security and continue to fight to ensure AAPI communities can participate in our democracy without fear or intimidation.
Now, we need you to do your part: make a plan and go vote!
