In celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month, OCA proudly recognizes a distinguished group of leaders as the 2026 Awards Gala Honorees, honoring their dedication, advocacy, and service that have left a lasting impact on the AANHPI community.

OCA, alongside the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) and its member organizations, condemned the U.S. Department of Justice’s indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of a broader attack on civil rights organizations.

President Trump’s unlawful executive order would take control of mail-in ballots from the states and create an unvalidated, error-prone system that would risk disenfranchising eligible voters

The president does not have constitutional authority to regulate elections. President Trump’s prior executive order on voting failed in court for the same reason.

The executive order targets mail-in voting and threatens voter access, undermines democratic participation, and risks disenfranchising marginalized communities ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

OCA joins amicus brief challenging birthright citizenship executive order as unconstitutional and harmful to millions of American families.

President Trump’s State of the Union paints a misleading picture of prosperity and strength while AANHPI communities face rising costs, attacks on immigrants, threats to voting rights and healthcare access, and deepening fear and division.

The House passage of the SAVE America Act will create new barriers that disenfranchise millions of eligible voters, particularly in Asian American and other marginalized communities.

OCA joined civil rights partners in filing a motion to intervene in State of Missouri v. U.S. Department of Commerce to defend the constitutional requirement that the Census count all people living in the U.S.

The Trump administration’s freeze on immigrant visa processing and the rising number of deaths in ICE custody demand that Congress prioritize accountability and transparency over funding a system that puts immigrant lives at risk.

ICE’s fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three and legal observer in Minneapolis, is unacceptable, and an immediate and unbiased investigation into the responsible federal officers must take place.
