John, discrimination based on someone’s hairstyle or hair texture has no legal or moral justification in the United States of America. Period.

That’s what we asserted earlier this month when we reintroduced the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act.

Each time we’ve introduced it, in 2019 and 2022, this legislation has passed the House, but my Senate colleagues on the other side of the aisle have blocked it. But I believe the time for change has come. I’ve reintroduced this bill with Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as a cosponsor, and I strongly believe that we can come together across party lines to accomplish this.

John, will you help advocate against this form of discrimination by adding your name as a CROWN Act citizen cosponsor?

Nobody should face harassment or discrimination based on their natural hair, and the CROWN Act is an effort to heal a systemic bias that tells Black people that who they inherently are is wrong.

Black hair is beautiful in all of its forms and styles, and we must ensure individuals are free to express their cultural identities without fear of prejudice or bias.

Add your name as an original citizen co-sponsor of the CROWN Act today.

Thanks for raising your voice for such an important issue. With enough public support, we will get this done.

With love and gratitude,

Cory
