Join the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. Harrisburg Chapter, The Links, Incorporated, Harrisburg (PA) Chapter, and the Reclaim Artist Collective in our efforts to end hair discrimination in the workplace, schools, and other social spaces. These organizations are advocating for the support of the CROWN Act, which stands for Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair.

Hair discrimination is an undue burden that polices Black identity and upholds white supremacy. With no nationwide legal protections against hair discrimination, Black people are often left to risk facing consequences at school or work for their natural hair or invest time and money to conform to Eurocentric professionalism and beauty standards.

The CROWN Act would change that. The legislation demands protection against race-based hair discrimination in the workplace and in K-12 public and charter schools based on hair texture and protective styles.

Add your name to this petition to urge the Senate to vote in favor of the federal CROWN Act.
