OCCCO PICO

OCCCO PICO It all started with two Jesuits in Oakland. After a few years, their model morphed from neighborhood to faith-based organizing, working with congregations.

Orange County Congregation Community Organization (OCCCO) is a multi-faith, faith-based community organization that works to empower individuals and congregations to use their voice to make positive, lasting change within low-income communities of color. Inspired by their faith, along with a deep commitment to social justice, Fathers John Baumann and Jerry Helfrich started an organization called P

ICO in Northern California that adopted a neighborhood organizing focus. PICO and its affiliates operate within a congregation-based model of organizing.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to St. Mary’s Catholic Church for opening their doors so we could host Lucha to the Polls. We are also deeply grateful to everyone who came to the event and helped build community.
As we continue this work, we remember that the right to vote was not simply given; it was fought for by our ancestors, elders, and communities who believed in a more just future. Voting is one way we honor that legacy. It is an act of love for our families, our neighbors, and the communities we call home.

Queremos expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a la Iglesia Católica St. Mary’s por abrirnos sus puertas y permitirnos organizar el evento Lucha to the Polls. Asimismo, estamos profundamente agradecidos con todas las personas que asistieron al evento y contribuyeron a fortalecer nuestra comunidad.
Al continuar con esta labor, recordamos que el derecho al voto no nos fue simplemente otorgado; fue conquistado mediante la lucha de nuestros antepasados, nuestros mayores y nuestras comunidades, quienes creyeron en un futuro más justo. Votar es una de las formas en que honramos ese legado. Es un acto de amor hacia nuestras familias, nuestros vecinos y las comunidades que consideramos nuestro hogar.

Lucha to the Polls celebrates our collective power, culture, and community. Inspired by the spirit of lucha libre, this nonpartisan gathering reminds us that the fight for our voice and dignity did not begin with us; generations before us struggled so our families and communities could have the right to participate and be heard.

Through food, music, joy, and connection, we are creating a space where everyone belongs and every voice matters. Voting is not just an individual act; it is a collective expression of love for our community and hope for our future. Together, we “luchamos por nuestra voz” by showing up for one another and walking to the polls in solidarity.

Join us for a family-friendly evening centered on belonging, civic participation, and community power. All are welcome.

Maite and Caroline, members of our Monarchs of Hope youth group, share what OCCCO's IGNITE leadership program has meant to them. Over 5 sessions across 3 months, these young leaders have been learning the tools of civic engagement and taking those lessons back to their schools and communities.

This is what it looks like when young people are given the space, the knowledge, and the belief that their voice matters.

Anaheim's future is bright. And it starts right here. 🦋✨
