Our Mission
We Believe
We embrace the mission and message of the Democratic party that anyone, from any walk of life, should have a fair shot at the American Dream.
We believe that cooperation is better than conflict, unity is better than division, empowerment is better than resentment, and bridges are better than walls.

OCDC Monthly Meeting - Saturday, July 9
Mark Your Calendar for OCDC Program on Election Cybersecurity and Disinformation
We're very pleased to three experts from the USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative speaking with us at our next OCDC meeting on Saturday, July 9th, 10am. Please join us at 9:30am for coffee and conversation. Our meeting will be in person and also on Zoom. Click here to contact us to receive the Zoom link.
Adam Clayton Powell III, Executive Director of the USC Election Cybersecurity Initiative, will introduce us to his colleagues who will provide us with an update on cyber threats on campaigns, election officials, and individuals, from inside and outside the US, as well as the disinformation campaigns being waged in the US. They'll also provide advice on thwarting these threats and enhancing cyber protections.
These experts are: Sarah Mojarad, who is on the faculty at the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering. Her areas of expertise are in social media, science communication, and online misinformation. She will be joined by Clifford Neuman, Director of the Center for Computer Systems Security at the University of Southern California and Associate Professor of Computer Science Practice in USC's Viterbi School of Engineering where he oversees USC's computer security curricula.
Following their presentation we will discuss the recent Supreme Court actions, our plans for energizing voters in the November election, and have a Spanberger campaign update. The Spanberger Team will be on hand to launch a canvass after we enjoy a little pizza for lunch after the meeting and before we start knocking on doors. Join us for all or part of the day!
