Art can heal, and ART can be a powerful method of getting your point across.
April 29, 2022 UPDATE from Peggy Oki, Origami Whales Project
People taking action have been making a difference!
The Dolphin Company, has completed acquisition of Miami Seaquarium, under restriction in new license with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Tokitae/Lolita and a companion white-sided dolphin Lii will no longer be exhibited. Let’s make a polite heartfelt impression on CEO of The Dolphin Company to allow Tokitae/Lolita/Ska’li to return to a sea sanctuary in her home waters.
In two months we have received over 1,700 "Art Letters for Lolita". All ages welcome to help reach our goal of 2,000 by May 9th.
Find downloadable instructions in our Google Doc to share with friends & family, school teachers (to empower students) far and wide. bit.ly/3pioqr2
