2023 marks 50 years of OCA - Asian Pacific American advocacy, community building, and youth programming. To celebrate, OCA National is conducting a fundraising event.
This fundraiser is to raise money for our volunteer-run OCA chapters: 35 chapters located in 24 states across the country that provide direct services, cultural events, and policy advocacy for each of their local AAPI communities, including the OCA-Greater Washington DC chapter.
In the past few years, we've been working to address language access during the COVID-19 pandemic and counter anti-Asian rhetoric and hate incidents. Now, we're focusing on AANHPI curriculum in K-12 schools, digital literacy and digital access, as well as voting rights. You can learn more about our policy platform here.
We are also raising money to give scholarships to low-income AANHPI high school and college students to attend our convention, "Organize. Connect. Act!" for their advocacy and professional career development. Learn more about our annual convention at www.ocanationalconvention.org.
This event will be available to view in-person in Washington, DC and virtually via Zoom. RSVP using the links below. We hope you will be able to support us as we celebrate OCA's legacy!
