Dr. Jane Goodall, the legendary animal rights advocate, has died at 91. Rest in peace, Jane.
Dr. Goodall's life was a beacon for progressive activism — a bridge between science and moral purpose.
Beginning her journey in Gombe, Tanzania, Goodall shattered old paradigms by revealing that chimpanzees have personalities, emotions, complex social lives, and even the ability to make and use tools — discoveries that forced us to reexamine what it means to be human.
But her legacy stretches far beyond the forest. She founded the Jane Goodall Institute, launched Roots & Shoots to empower youth across the globe, and became a fierce voice for climate justice, animal rights, and environmental equity.
In every speech, every campaign, every life she touched, she carried that liberal conviction that our planet deserves justice, that the powerless deserve champions, and that hope must be turned into action.
Rest in power, Dr. Goodall. The fight continues — and your spirit will guide us forward.
