As the world mourns the loss of Dolly Parton, we remember how she proved that caring for women meant standing up for everyday people and working families. Dolly grew up very poor in the Tennessee mountains with 11 brothers and sisters. When she became famous, she wore her bold, sparkly style proudly to honour the working-class women from her hometown. She showed that you can dress however you like and still be smart, strong, and in charge of your own life. Dolly may have been known for her wigs and wardrobe and her countless country hits, but she was also known to the world as a kind human being, someone who treated everyone equally, and gave generously without pause. Dolly showed that real power comes from kindness, community, and standing proud in who you are!

Real equality means that everyone is free, safe, and treated fairly.

Today, Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate how far we’ve come, but we also know the work isn't done. We can't talk about women's rights without also talking about race, disability, money, and 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. True fairness means standing up for Black, Indigenous, and women of color, disabled women, trans women, and working-class families who face extra challenges every day.

We shouldn't just try to join a system that was built to leave people out, we need to change the system completely. Today, we promise to break down unfair barriers, fight for equal pay for everyone, and build a world where all people can thrive.

Nobody is truly equal until all of us are equal.
