John,
When I served in the Pennsylvania State House, I introduced legislation
with current Speaker Joanna McClinton to end hair discrimination after a
young Black high school student in my district was told to change her hair
or go home.
Under GOP leadership, our bill went without a vote for four years. But
with the historic work we did locally to flip the Pennsylvania State
Legislature, I’m so proud to share that my former colleagues in the PA
House never gave up and successfully passed the CROWN Act with undeniable
bipartisan support earlier this month!
If passed by the State Senate and signed by Governor Shapiro, this bill
will finally outlaw discrimination based on hair texture, type, or style
and make respect for beautiful Black hair the law of the land in
Pennsylvania.
Now, we need to bring the same fight to Congress in order to end hair
discrimination across the country, no matter what state you live in. No
one should be denied an interview, fired from their job, penalized in
school, or discriminated against in any other way because of their natural
hair — period.

Act. We clearly can’t depend on GOP state legislatures to do the right
thing. Will you chip in $5 to help build support for the
CROWN Act in Congress and end hair discrimination for Black folks across
the country?

Thank you for helping make this progress possible in our commonwealth.
First, Pennsylvania — next stop, Congress.
In solidarity,
Summer
