Tokitae, 52 years in captivity
“The things you are passionate about are not random. They are your calling.”
Thank you to everyone who joined the event on August 8; we created awareness and reached many new people. Special thanks to Fred Brown for creating this beautiful sand art for Tokitae. It was an incredibly moving way to end the day. Thank you, Fred.
Until Lolita is Home’s goal has always been to raise awareness for Lolita / Tokitae; her capture, and her time in captivity, to advocate for her retirement in her home waters and support others.
Since 2015, with the help of many dedicated volunteers and supporters globally, we have grown into a strong collective voice for Tokitae. We have hosted over one hundred rallies, including several successful online events, resulting in TV and press articles.
Reaching a decade of campaign work has seen many ups and downs in our fight for Tokitae, but we have never stopped, and neither should you.
Because of you, more people know about Tokitae and her story.
Because of you, people see her terrible living conditions.
Because of you, people join the fight for her rightful liberation.
Because of you, attitudes towards captive cetaceans are changing.
Tokitae, hidden from view, we see you and will continue to fight for you. We WILL carry you.
Our group started with the power of one, a person with passion and drive. Your voice matters; please use it to help those who need their voices heard.
Little Miss & Mr Men memes for Tokitae
Do you remember the “Little Miss” or “Mr Men” books? Now the square-shaped children’s books created by Rоger Hargreaves in the ’70s and ’80s are back, but this time as memes. They are viral on social media, so we used the idea for Tokitae!
Join the Until Lolita is Home Movement
Until Lolita is Home is a grassroots movement that advocates for the retirement of Lolita, the orca, from the Miami Seaquarium. By raising awareness about Lolita (and ALL captive cetaceans), we hope one-day Tokitae (her original name) will see her home waters again. We are an all-volunteer group with members located around the world.
Starting in May 2015, Until Lolita is Home (formerly Shut Down Palace) hosted rallies at dozens of locations in the United States and abroad, including the Miami Seaquarium and numerous other Palace Entertainment-owned sites. These events received worldwide coverage and pushed Palace Entertainment to release their first statement EVER regarding Lolita since they purchased the Miami Seaquarium.
