United Chinese Americans (UCA) is a nationwide, nonpartisan nonprofit coalition dedicated to empowering Chinese Americans, protecting civil rights, and supporting the next generation. Based in Washington, D.C., the organization coordinates efforts across the United States to address civil rights and community-empowerment needs. The group operates as a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit within the broader civil rights and community advocacy landscape. In May 2020, UCA partnered with the Ohio Chinese American Association to launch Chinese American Food of Love Day, linking Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with the historical contribution of Chinese workers to the Transcontinental Railroad. The collaboration illustrates UCA's role in forming alliances with community organizations to pursue advocacy and cultural outreach.
