Ohio Citizen Action (OCA) is the premier grassroots mobilizing and organizing team in the Midwest. Ohio Citizen Action informs, organizes and mobilizes people to advocate for public interests across issues and campaigns. In person, by phone, and online, we engage people in actions that protect public health, improve environmental quality, and benefit consumers.
