Crown Act Supporter dismantling hair discrimination.

Dear CROWN supporter,

Thank you for supporting Dove and the CROWN Coalition’s mission to end race-based hair discrimination nationwide. We are excited to share the highlights that has made 2022 a year to remember, including: legislative wins, 3rd Annual National CROWN Day and more!

Read about all 2022 CROWN highlights below:

Legislative Wins
In 2022, the CROWN Act or legislation inspired by the CROWN Act passed in 5 new states (ME, LA, MA, TN, & AK) and 4 municipalities making hair discrimination illegal in a total of 19 states, 44 municipalities and 1 U.S. Territory.

On March 18th, the CROWN Act (Federal Bill H.R. 2116) passed the House of Representatives for the second time. On December 15th, Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) took to the United States Senate Floor and made the case for the passage of the CROWN Act by unanimous consent. Disappointingly, the CROWN Act did not pass in the U.S. Senate, but we remain grateful for Senator Booker’s bi-partisan leadership as the original lead sponsor in Congress.

We Need Your Support!

It is paramount that we band together to raise our collective voices and activate our civic duty to implore our federal elected officials to . Please continue to share the CROWN Act petition across your social media pages and encourage friends and family to do the same.

Call Action to end hair discrimination and work schools in public places!

This applies to you if you, yourself or your children, loved ones or close friends or even colleagues have curly textured hair!

I personally worked on this campaign and this bill with senator Melanie Morgan in 2019. I also gave a testimony in Olympia in the state of Washington. As personal as this is to me, it should be to you.

Help Us End Hair Discrimination in the Workplace, Schools, and Pools

Vote YES on The CROWN Act

Why is this important?
Currently, it is legal to discriminate against a person in the workplace, schools, and/or pools because of their natural or protective hairstyle in all states except for California, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Colorado, Washington, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware, New Mexico, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Illinois, Maine, Tennessee, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Alaska. Hair discrimination remains a source of racial injustice with serious economic consequences for Black people. The CROWN Act corrects these racial injustices by making hair discrimination illegal.

Join the movement to shatter racial discrimination based on hairstyles by signing this petition and sending a letter to your Federal legislator using the template here: https://www.thecrownact.com/email-your-senator

Urge legislators to vote YES on The CROWN Act. We want to get to 500,000 signatures, so please spread the word!

The CROWN Coalition (Dove, National Urban League, Color Of Change, and Western Center on Law & Poverty) believes natural hairstyles should be celebrated, not discouraged. For this reason, they are committed to Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural hair.

Senator Holly J. Mitchell was the first to introduce The CROWN Act (Senate Bill 188) in the state of California, the first state to sign the bill into law. New York was the second state to introduce the CROWN Act under the leadership of Assemblywoman Tremaine Wright (D-Bedford-Stuyvesant, Northern Crown Heights) and Senator Jamaal Bailey (D-Bronx, Westchester), and Governor Cuomo signed the CROWN Act into law on July 12th, deeming the legislation effective immediately. New Jersey became the third state to enact the CROWN Act. State Senator Sandra Cunningham (District 31) and Assemblywoman Angela McKnight (District 31) championed the legislation and Governor Phil Murphy signed the CROWN Act into law on December 19th, the one-year anniversary of the wrestling match where New Jersey high school wrestler Andrew Johnson's locs were forcibly cut off. The states of Virginia, Colorado, Washington, Maryland, Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada, Maine, Tennessee, and Massachusetts have also enacted the CROWN Act. Additional bills were signed in New Mexico, Nebraska, Oregon, Illinois, Louisiana, and Alaska that were inspired by The CROWN Act. In addition, the CROWN Act has become law in forty-four (44) municipalities. In March 2021, the federal bill H.R 2116 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) and S.888 was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senator Cory Booker. On March 18, 2022, the federal CROWN Act bill passed in the House of Representatives with a vote of 235 Yeas and 189 Nays.

On December 14, 2022, the federal bill was brought to the Senate floor for passage by unanimous consent. Unfortunately, the bill did not pass due to an objection brought by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R-KY). The federal CROWN Act will now need to be reintroduced in the 2023 legislative session.

Although we are deeply disappointed with this outcome, we won't stop until racial discrimination based on natural hair texture and protective hairstyles is illegal nationwide. Join us in demanding our elected officials nationally!

I signed because as a Black woman who’s been discriminated against for my hair texture, I feel that it’s important for non-black POC and white people to understand that their racism and discrimination is unacceptable and does not prevent Black folks of being able to do our jobs, live our lives, receive an education, etc.

We as people of color should freely wear our hair natural with no boundaries! Wearing straight is not the answer it is killing our black women especially hair straighteners they are linked to uterine cancer!
