World Federalist Movement – Canada
Nakasato is active in the world federalist movement. He has worked to revive the Vancouver Branch of World Federalist Movement – Canada (WFM–C), helping to rebuild a local chapter of the organization devoted to strengthening democratic global governance and the principles of federalism at the international level.
Before relocating to British Columbia, Nakasato was based in Alaska, where he chaired the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, the state body responsible for enforcing Alaska’s anti-discrimination laws. He served on the commission from 2016 and as its chairperson until 2019. He is also the founder of Our Commonwealth, a nonprofit focused on community engagement.
His writing reflects a long-standing interest in human rights, shared human identity, and the idea of humanity as a collective project. In Mondial, the journal of Citizens for Global Solutions and World Federalist Movement – Canada, he contributed the poem “Humanity Is an Idea” (2024), which frames the recognition of others’ humanity as an act of nation-building toward a more unified world community.
