“Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped

That we'll forever be tied together victorious
Not because we will never again know defeat
but because we will never again sow division”

Happy Year of the Ox to all! OACC envisions vibrant, healthy, and just communities where diverse APIA identities and heritage are affirmed and celebrated.
