Mission

OCA-NY is the New York Chapter of OCA, a national organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans in the United States.

To fulfill its mission, OCA has established the following goals:

• to advocate for social justice, equal opportunity and fair treatment;
• to promote civic participation, education, and leadership;
• to advance coalitions and community building; and

Founded in 1973 as the Organization of Chinese Americans, OCA is a national non-profit, non-partisan advocacy organization with a national office in Washington, D.C. and over 80 chapters and affiliates across the nation. OCA aims to embrace the hopes and aspirations of the nearly 13 million Asian Pacific Americans in the United States.
