Sign up for an event here. Create your own event below. OCA staff will help you organize your event, provide you with materials and promote it to the media. Types of events include:

Leafleting (i.e. We would provide you with informational leaflets that you and others would hand outside a store, school, or other location of your choice)
Rally (i.e. Break the Chains with a rally in a prominent and public area. Rallies are a great opportunity to both educate and celebrate our victories).
