Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development (OCCORD)
About

Founded as a community-labor alliance in 2005, Orange County Communities Organized for Responsible Development (OCCORD) combines community organizing, civic participation, strategic research, and advocacy to engage residents, workers, and stakeholders in local government decisions that impact economic opportunity, community health, and overall quality of life.

OCCORD promotes inclusive public decision-making in a region where a profound civic disconnection exists between the region’s governing class and the increasingly diverse constituent base it seeks to represent. They concentrate their efforts in communities such as Anaheim and Santa Ana where working families and immigrant communities have not fully participated in government decision-making processes and long-standing community needs have gone unaddressed.

THEIR MISSION is to bring workers, families and community partners together to organize and advocate for good jobs, strong neighborhoods and an inclusive democracy in Orange County.

OCCORD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contributions to OCCORD are tax deductible.

They are a proud member of the Partnership for Working Families national network.
