About this Event

Join us for the PickITup Chinatown organized by OCA-East Bay


OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates in one of the largest oldest national Asian Pacific American civil rights organizaitons with volunteer chapters across the country and a national center in Washington, D.C.

OCA's East Bay Chapter (OCA-East Bay) has been around for over 30 years trying to help develop new community leaders. For the past few years we have activated people through "PickITup Chinatown", a monthly program to get people to feel values of community ownership and that civic engagement is not just about voting.

For the past NINE YEARS we've cleared hundreds of pounds of trash and illegal dumping out of the Chinatown, have disrupted graffiti, and planted/watered new trees in the neighborhood.

PickITup's have happened monthly on the second Sunday of each month for the better part of the past nine years. There have been some exceptions based on special scheduling, and we have been able to work with organizations to do PickITup's doing the week if there's enough interest.

Meetup spot is Wilma Chan Park (formerly known as Madison Park) on 9th and Jackson Streets.

In the PickITup's we've done this year we've been thankful for the support of groups including:

  • Oakland City Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas
  • Oakland Public Work's Adopt A Spot program
  • Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce
  • Oakland Chinatown Improvement Council
  • Asian Health Services
  • Asian Youth Services Committee
  • Athenian School
  • BuildOn at Oakland High School
  • Boy Scout Troop 201
  • Cleveland Elementary Safety Patrol
  • San Leandro High School Asian Student Union
  • Yu Ming Charter School
  • Wells Fargo
  • Apple
  • Cricket Wireless
  • and many others

Fill out this release form once a year: tinyurl.com/ocapickitup

We are capable of signing off on volunteer hours for students seeking it for school credit.

We have been able to organize weekday PickITup's in partnership with corporate employee resource groups. It is possible if we have enough advanced notice.
