Chief Executive Officer Lin Zhiming said that their mission is to build the strength of OCA and uplift the voices of Chinese Americans. He referred to the Jimmy Kimmel viral video “Kill the Chinese People” as an example of how Chinese Americans should be more united in order to win respect on a variety of issues.

The Organization also invited three accomplished individuals to speak at the event including Harvard University Professor, Vivian Louie, The Honorable Elaine L. Chao, and the Organization of Chinese Americans Director, Tom Hayashi. Elaine Chao referenced a recent family murder story in Brooklyn, and as a one-year old immigrant herself, she knows that new immigrants adapt to American life through a great deal of struggle and pain, “ When my family came to the United States, we didn’t know anything and life was hard, but we used optimism and courage to overcome the hardships. My family reflects almost every immigrant family who arrives in the United States. With this determination and family cooperation, all can absolutely flourish as the United States is full of opportunities.”
