The Oregon Advocacy Commissions Office (OACO) was created to support the work of the Commissions on Asian and Pacific Islander (OCAPIA), Black (OCBA), Hispanic (OCHA), and Women's (OCFW) affairs which serve as the liaisons between communities of color, women and government entities. The OACO is responsible for administrative support to the Commissions as they strive for implementation and establishment of economic, social, legal and political equality for communities of color and women in Oregon.
