FAITH · FREEDOM · ACTION

ABOUT USCIC

Who we are.

A voluntary, nonpartisan coalition of Indian Christian organizations in the United States, working together for religious freedom, civil rights, dignity and representation.

OUR PURPOSE

Many organizations. One voice.

USCIC brings Indian Christian organizations together to speak with one voice on the issues that matter to our community, in the United States and in India, while each organization keeps its full independence.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

Religious Freedom

Defending freedom of faith for all.

Civil Rights

Supporting equal rights and justice.

Dignity

Upholding the dignity of our community.

Representation

Ensuring our concerns are heard.

HOW WE’RE ORGANIZED

A simple, collaborative structure.

USCIC is coordinated by a small Coordination Council of three to five people from different member organizations. The Council organizes meetings, drafts joint communications and keeps the member list. It holds no titles and cannot speak for any member without consent.

USCIC is also working toward state coalitions, so organizations can speak together on issues in their own states as well as nationally.

OUR CHARTER

A clear and simple agreement.

Every member organization signs a simple one-page charter that sets out how the coalition works: independence, consent, nonpartisanship, and the freedom to withdraw at any time.
