The Belarusian Congress Committee of America (Belarusian: Беларускі кангрэсавы камітэт Амерыкі) or BCCA (Belarusian: БККА) is a non-partisan not-for-profit national umbrella organization uniting different national Belarusian American organizations in advocating for Americans of Belarusian descent. Its membership is composed of fraternal, educational, veterans, religious, cultural, social, business, political and humanitarian organizations, as well as individuals. Established in 1951 in South River, New Jersey, the BCCA maintains local all-volunteer chapters across the United States.[1] The magazine "Belaruskaya Dumka" is the official periodical of the Belarusian Congress Committee of America.
