Stop discrimination based on hair texture

The Issue

Discrimination based on hair texture is a form of social injustice, found worldwide, that targets black people, specifically black people who have afro-textured hair. We must take a stand against discrimination based on African braids, locks, and natural texture hair styles. This is apart of our African culture. We must fight for laws to be past in Mississippi that will not allow schools, workplaces and any other institutions from expelling and firing our people for wearing braids and natural hair textures. Please sign for your children and generations to come.
