OCA-NJ, works diligently with its chapters in efforts for justice in Danny Chen case and our combined efforts to address racists remarks on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel's show.

In addition to social justice issues, OCA-NJ organizes scholarship, internship and other programs to help New Jersey Asian American Students pursue educational opportunities. The work of OCA is ongoing.
OCA NJ chapter is a state chapter of OCA, a section 501(c)(3) national civil rights advocacy and educational organization dedicated to advancing the social, political and economic well-being of Americans of Chinese and Asian/Pacific Islander descent.
OCA is comprised of concerned Americans and is dedicated to securing the rights of Chinese Americans and Asian Pacific American citizens and permanent residents through legislative and policy initiatives at all levels of the government.
OCA’s goal is to embrace the hopes and aspirations of the newly two million citizens and residents of Chinese ancestry in the United States, as well as, to better the lives of the nearly ten million Asian Pacific Americans across the country.
OCA is a national organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans.
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
- to foster cultural heritage.
OCA is engaged in organizing its over 80 chapters and affiliates across the nation to develop both leadership and community involvement. OCA chapters and our affiliates are establishing strong local programs in all parts of the country.
OCA’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. gives the OCA National Center an effective vantage point for monitoring legislation and policy issues affecting Asian Pacific Americans. In addition, OCA is able to build national support and to work in coalition with other national groups around issues affecting Asian Pacific Americans.
OCA takes no collective position on the politics of any foreign country, but instead focuses on the welfare and civil rights of Asian Pacific Americans.
OCA's motto is “Embracing the Hopes and Aspirations of Asian Pacific Americans.”
