423 SUPPORTERS — AND A MESSAGE ABOUT KINDNESS THAT MATTERS

423 people have now stood up for dignity and respect.

We are now just 77 supporters away from 500.

Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, and helped this message reach more people. What began with one bakery worker and one radio broadcast has grown into something much bigger: a conversation about how we treat people living with arthritis, disabilities, and conditions that may not always be visible.

As we continue this journey, I also want to take a moment to remember Dolly Parton and reflect on a message she championed during her life: the importance of kindness and the harm caused by making fun of others.

Dolly even recorded an anti-bullying song called “Makin’ Fun Ain’t Funny.” Its message feels especially meaningful today.

Making someone else’s struggle the punchline isn’t kindness.

A medical condition isn’t a joke.
A disability isn’t a joke.
Someone doing the best they can isn’t a joke.

Words can leave an impact long after they are spoken.

So as we celebrate 423 supporters, let us continue standing for something simple but powerful:

Compassion. Dignity. Respect.

Every voice matters.
Every person matters.

May we carry a little more kindness into the way we speak to and treat one another.

423 strong. Only 77 to 500. 🦋💜🦋🦋💜
