UCA Statement on Atlanta Shootings and Anti-Asian Violence

Today, we are joining a community wide civic movement called United Chinese Americans (UCA).

Since late 2016, when it started, UCA has served, lead and inspired our community in so many ways:

—UCA has stood up defending our civil rights, such as Sherry Chen and Xiaoxing Xi;

—UCA has launched national forum on how we can be more civically engaged;

—UCA conducts nationwide dialogue with FBI and prosecutors through public forum;

—UCA has a program monitoring Congress, educating Members of Congress and elected officials, and promoting the right legislation;

—UCA has promoted pubic service and charity work in UCA community and through the traditional festivals;

—UCA organizes national youth internship and leadership training programs;

—UCA holds bi-annual “Chinese American Convention” where leaders of our community meet and set agenda for the future. 

We will work closely with fellow Chinese Americans of all background in Washington to advance the wellbeing of our community and make greater contribution to our society.

Let us come together and start this exciting journey together!

United Chinese Americans-Washington 

Today, as Chinese Americans, we face great opportunities as well as challenges as never before, as our community has been going through fast and fundamental changes.

How do we become civically engaged citizens? How do we approach public policy or politics that impact our life? How to work with the larger society and protect our civil rights? How do we define our identity and preserve our heritage? And how do we raise and train our next generation? 

If you have been thinking some of these questions, you are not alone. We would like to invite you to join us to explore the future together.
