The Death Of Tilikum

It’s hard to find words when all you have are emotions. Sadness. Pain. Anger. Heartbreak. Some sort of bittersweet relief. Indignation. Tilikum was the catalyst behind the start of Blue Freedom. It was his plight that inspired our founder, Kate Emmons, to start a petition to release Tilikum to a sea pen that garnered more […]

Superpod: A Recap

When a group of people works together toward a common goal, amazing things can happen. I believe in community. I believe, as humans, we are made for it. Close-knit social groups are quite common among many species and humans are no exception to that. So, what happens when one creature designed for community comes together […]

Voiceless film trailer

It’s been an unbelievable privilege to work on the Voiceless film project. It’s incredible to me, as a young adult, to see this go from an idea sparked by a handful of students, to a film project that hundreds of people are directly involved in, and that hundreds of thousands have supported. That blows my […]

STILL HERE: a better way to look at Free Tilikum Day

November 14 is here again – the day we use to bring awareness to Tilikum, the captive orca whale. But it’s been about six years since the first “Free Tilikum Protest Day” and Tilikum is still living in a pool at SeaWorld. Are all our efforts and cries for justice futile? We don’t think so. […]

An Open Thank You Letter to Harry Styles

Dear Harry, My name is Katie, and this is just a note to say thank you. Because I thought it was freaking cool that you spoke out for dolphins at one of your recent concerts.

Far. Fast. Free: A student’s thoughts on the Taiji dolphin drive

September is usually one of my favorite months.
