United Chinese Americans

About United Chinese Americans

Founded at the first Chinese American Convention in September 2016, United Chinese Americans emerged from a vision to empower and enrich Chinese American communities across the nation. Based in Washington, DC, UCA has grown into a vibrant nonpartisan federation with a mission rooted in service, leadership, and inspiration. The organization recognizes that strengthening Chinese American communities requires a multifaceted approach—one that honors cultural heritage while promoting active civic participation and political engagement. UCA's work extends beyond community borders, fostering greater understanding between the people of the United States and China for the collective well-being of all Americans. What distinguishes United Chinese Americans is its commitment to youth development and intergenerational connection, ensuring that younger generations inherit both cultural pride and civic responsibility. Through its network of local chapters and community partnerships, UCA creates spaces where Chinese Americans can find their voice, develop leadership skills, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. The organization's nonpartisan stance allows it to serve as a neutral platform for diverse perspectives and dialogue. Since achieving nonprofit status in 2017, United Chinese Americans has demonstrated steady growth and deepening community roots, reflecting the trust and support of thousands of members nationwide. UCA's journey represents a grassroots movement dedicated to ensuring that Chinese American voices are heard, valued, and empowered in shaping America's future.
