Today the Ugandan American community is rapidly growing, yet we are under-represented among those who are making decisions that affect our wellbeing in both the private and public sectors. The UAC will work tirelessly to help our community rise to positions of leadership, thereby positioning ourselves to make our mark on society through our active engagement.

Heritage
Motivating our community to engage in the political process.
Public leaders, many of whom are elected, often define society’s values. We must therefore build a political infrastructure that will help our Ugandan American community participate fully in the democratic process.

Raise awareness and stimulate dialogue about affairs on the Ugandan Peninsula.
We are a community of immigrants with a remarkable history and a complex vision for the future. UAC’s concerns about security and peace transcend ideological, political, and generational lines. We must promote both understanding and change in order to adapt culturally, while sustaining or heritage.

Image
Promote a positive and united image of Ugandan Americans.
Many Ugandan Americans have experienced victimization due to tribalism. This, and all other forms of discrimination must be promptly and adequately addressed. We aim to be proactive and convey a healthy image that challenges old stereotypes, which are sometimes unintentionally accepted as normal within family and peer relationships.
