It is with a heavy heart that I write this petition following the passing of an icon who brought joy, inspiration, and unity to countless people around the world—Dolly Parton. Her music, philanthropy, and infectious personality have been a beacon of hope and kindness, transcending generations and breaking down barriers.

Dolly Parton was not just a singer or a songwriter; she was a symbol of the American spirit—resilient, generous, and always embracing others with love and understanding. Her charity work, including the Imagination Library that provides free books to children, and her countless contributions to causes like mental health, wildlife preservation, and disaster relief, show her unwavering commitment to making the world a better place.

We urge Congress to recognize the profound impact Dolly had on millions of lives by establishing September 25th (9/25) as a national holiday in her honor. This day would serve not only to remember Dolly's incredible legacy but also to inspire future generations to carry forward her message of inclusivity, love, and selflessness.

A national holiday commemorating Dolly Parton would unite the nation in celebration of her life and achievements, providing a day for reflection, celebration, and unity. Let's take this step to ensure her spirit and mission continue to thrive in the hearts and minds of our communities.

Join us in honoring a true American treasure. Sign this petition and help us urge Congress to make September 25th (9/25) a day that brings us all together in the spirit of Dolly Parton—filled with kindness, music, and a reminder of the power of one individual's ability to touch the world.
