Close the hidden loopholes that allow modern discrimination based on hair texture.

Pass the CROWN Act

Discrimination against hair texture in schools, athletics, and workplaces denies individuals the freedom to express their identity and thrive in their environments. Policies and biases that penalize natural hair—such as afros, locs, braids, and twists—disproportionately target Black individuals, creating unnecessary barriers to learning, participating in sports, and advancing in professional settings.

This form of racial discrimination doesn’t just harm individuals—it weakens communities and the economy by sidelining talented and capable people. Embracing and protecting the beauty and diversity of natural hair is essential for fostering equity, confidence, and productivity across all sectors.
