She didn’t buy a yacht so big that it required a mini-yacht for support. And she didn’t become a billionaire. In fact, she worked really hard to avoid that fate. [1] In contrast, Jeff Bezos built a suspiciously-shaped spacecraft for pleasure rides in orbit, while down on Earth Amazon workers fought to unionize. His yacht is so big it can’t park with the Zuckerberg yachts. He has to drop anchor with oil tankers instead.[2] And he’s a billionaire. Hundreds of times over. Amazon workers, the people who created his wealth with their literal blood sweat and tears–and sometimes lives–are still fighting for wages that pay the bills and working conditions that won’t cause lifelong injury. Jeff just “honored” Dolly after her death on his Instagram page, but we don’t think he really gets it. [3] Today, we’re creating a space for all of us to channel both our rage at the billionaire class and our grief at the passing of Dolly, an icon and absolute gem of a human being. Together, let’s tell Jeff Bezos what honoring Dolly Parton really looks like: living a life of generosity and integrity, not greed. Send a message directly to Jeff Bezos telling him what it means to really honor Dolly Parton. We’ve added some language to get you started–but feel free to just write from your heart.
