Building Community Power
OCCORD’s mission is to build the power of historically marginalized communities in Orange County. Utilizing community organizing, and policy research, OCCORD pursues policy changes that lead to an inclusive economy, community-driven education, and a responsive democracy.
What We Do
Empowering New Citizens
We are increasing the new number of citizens in strategic neighborhoods. We demystify the naturalization process through clinics, fairs, and preparation classes. 100% of new citizens are registered to vote.
Building Community Bargaining Power
With Neighborhood Unions, we organize communities to ensure they have a voice in public policies affecting economic development, housing, and education.
Transforming Local Electorate
At every election, we engage recently naturalized citizens and disenfranchised voters of color. We increase voter turnout in strategic neighborhoods in Anaheim and Santa Ana.
