OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates

🚨HAPPENING NOW 🚨 x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Google’s market cap is bigger than the entire U.S. media sector combined. It’s troubling to see them flex that muscle to limit diverse communities’ access to trusted news sources. This is unchecked monopoly power in action. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

According to our 2025 Annual Survey, Americans used a record 132 trillion MBs of mobile data in 2024, marking the third straight year of nearly 35% growth. Read more in our press release: bit.ly/46bS1ao

OCA joins the @CampaignLegal , @JACL_National , @SierraClub, and @UCSUSA in taking legal action against Elon Musk and DOGE for unlawfully cutting federal funding, dismantling agencies, and firing employees. Read the full statement here: ocanational.org/press-releases…

We're suing on behalf of @JACL_National, @OCANational, @SierraClub and @UCSUSA — member organizations directly suffering the consequences of Elon Musk and DOGE's unconstitutional actions.

BREAKING: Campaign Legal Center, Union of Concerned Scientists, Organization of Chinese Americans, Japanese American Citizens League, and Sierra Club have filed a lawsuit challenging Elon Musk and DOGE's unlawful and devastating funding and staffing cuts to the U.S. National Park Service and Forest Service. “American families are already feeling the effects of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s careless and illegal cuts to our federal workforce," said Sierra Club Executive Director @BenJealous. "Firefighters and forest management staff have been dismissed as families remain on edge from the threats wildfires pose. Families wanting to enjoy our national parks, forests and monuments are being welcomed with closed signs, long lines, and unmaintained trails–before the parks’ busiest season has yet to begin."

In addition, we would like to congratulate Jake Fitisemanu & @SenKarenKwan, OCA-Utah members, as well as Hoang Nguyen, @DougFiefia and @grantistheguy_ on their elected positions!

OCA applauds State Rep. @verona_mauga, OCA-Utah former Chapter President, on being elected as the first Samoan woman to the Utah House!

OCA congratulates State Rep.@GeneforTexas, a former board member and current advisory board member to @OCAHouston, on being elected @TexasHDC Chair! Your dedication and leadership continue to inspire us.

OCA supports Ryan Y. Park for the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. As NC’s Solicitor General with prestigious clerkships and an exemplary background, Park’s confirmation would bring vital expertise and historic representation as the first Asian American judge on the 4th Circuit.

We must stand together and in solidarity with our Black American communities to combat these injustices.

As police brutality and gun violence continues to disproportionately disparage communities of color, in light of recent news, OCA deeply condemns the unjustified violence leading to the murder of Sonya Massey on July 6 and the murder of Yong Yang on May 2.

So great to learn about @WHOGVP46 initiatives & resources. Our Executive Director, Thu Nguyen, joined @AAPIAgainstGV advocates to discuss the gun violence crisis and call for concrete steps from the Administration. app.speechifai.tech/s/hunKjikmSN9B…

The Affordable Connectivity Program connects over 23 million Americans to subsidized internet. We call on Congress to re-fund the program which stimulates the economy, provides education access, builds our workforce, and connects our community. #Broadband4All
