General Advocacy Track: OCA Summit
Hello Advocates,
Make sure to RSVP for the OCA Summit: Resilient Communities!
Resilient Communities is a virtual summit of plenaries, workshops, and entertainment for Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and allies across the country. The summit will consist of advocacy training and issue-based workshops on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted AAPI communities.
We would like to highlight the General Advocacy Track. This track contains workshops, panels, and conversations on various topics that have impact on AAPI Communities today. Topics include COVID-19 and small businesses, immigration and hardships to this process, LGBTQ+ narratives and perspectives, mental health and wellness, and much more!
The event is free but registration is required. For more information and to RSVP, visit bit.ly/ocasummit.
We hope to see you there! The event is live on Facebook ([link removed]) , so make sure to invite and share it with your friends! We also have graphics, email templates, text outreach templates, and phone scripts if you don't have Facebook and want to spread the word: see our Outreach Toolkit here ([link removed]) .
