Special Thank You to the Donors Who Powered CAPA21 in the 2022, 2020 Elections

I have been working with CAPA21 and CAPA, its predecessor PAC, for 36 years now and we have consistently been a voice for diversity and empowerment. We started the Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans (CAPA) in 1988. In 2014, we evolved again with CAPA21 and a generous challenge grant by Glen S. Fukushima of $50,000.

Since 2016, I have never felt more threatened for our country, for myself, and for our community than when I drew a low number for the draft during the wretched Vietnam War.

Since 2015, all of you have stepped up and offered financial and emotional support. And as gratifying was the reconnection of old and new warriors and friends. I can’t express my gratitude for all you’ve given and done. I just wanted to recognize you all with a mahalo nui loa and my deepest appreciation.

We couldn’t have done this without the leadership of CAPA21 co-chairs Maeley Tom, Ginger Lew, and Tamlyn Tomita and Glen Fukushima’s initial donation in 2016. I’m proud of our incredible teamwork and persistent efforts.

Co-Chair and Co-Founder
