Dear advocate,

When I think back to my summer as an OCA intern in 2015, what stands out most isn’t just the skills I gained, but the people I met and the community I found. That experience gave me mentors who believed in me and showed me how my story could be part of something bigger.

Today, I feel a deep responsibility to give back and invest in the next generation of AANHPI leaders, just as others once invested in me. My internship showed me that real change begins with connection, and that when we lift each other up, our shared experiences can grow into collective action for justice, equity, and access. That is why I've returned to be on the board, because I believe in OCA’s commitment to building our future.
Invest in the Next Generation ([link removed])
Here’s why your support matters:
* Empower future leaders with the skills and confidence to advocate for equity, justice, and access
* Expand access to mentorship and community for AANHPI students and young professionals
* Strengthen our collective voice by turning shared stories into shared action

That’s why I’m proud to support OCA’s Rising Together campaign—and why I hope you’ll join me in investing in the next generation of leaders who will carry this work forward.

In solidarity,

Daniel Hoddinott
VP of Education and Culture, OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates
