This year’s theme, “Passage to Seattle: From AYPE 1909 to AANHPI Rising 2025,” reflects our commitment to empowering the next generation of leaders while recognizing the pivotal role college campuses, like the University of Washington, have played in historic civil rights movements.

Co-hosted with OCA-Greater Seattle, the conference will feature interactive workshops, thought-provoking discussions, and engaging activities for students, professionals, thought leaders, and community members. Together, we will reflect on our history—both the progress and the injustices—and take actionable steps toward strengthening a multi-racial democracy where equity and justice thrive.

Join us in Seattle as we honor our past, empower our communities, and shape the future!

We hope our members & friends are staying safe & well amid the challenging times we are all facing due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Earlier this month, we set up a COVID-19 Community Relief Donation Drive. Monies raised go toward purchases of needed items to be donated to the brave frontline heroes in our community. Click HERE to see a letter from our chapter president, Laura Lee.

Thank you to our chapter's members & friends who have generously donated to this cause! We are truly grateful for your support & generosity! So far, our COVID-19 Community Relief Effort committee has made drop-offs to 4 hospitals in some of the hardest hit areas in NJ.

We are continuing to work on finding hospitals to donate needed items to & expanding to include "Food Pantries" & "Senior Homes" in our area that are impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Please donate to this effort if you haven't already done so. If you would like to mail in your donation, please make checks payable to: OCA-NJ Chapter
Mail to: OCA-NJ Chapter, COVID-19 Community Relief Effort, 2 Heather Court, Dover, NJ 07801.
