OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates is a national membership driven organization dedicated to advancing the social, political and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans (APAs).
Founded as the Organization of Chinese Americans in 1973, OCA has since grown to a robust national advocacy organization to with over 100 chapters, affiliates, and partners, impacting more than 15,000 individuals all across the country through local and national programming. While the organization’s headquarters remains in Washington, DC, allowing OCA to directly engage in critical public policy issues on a macro level, it continues to largely remain as a grassroots constituency of advocates with a membership that includes individuals from all walks of life and diverse ethnic identities addressing uniquely local issues impacting over 18.9 million Asian Americans across the country.
