Legislators, including Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman and Sen. Cory Booker, both Democrats from New Jersey, have reintroduced the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act, or CROWN Act. This legislation aims to prohibit racial hair discrimination in schools and workplaces. The act was announced outside the Capitol with support from various lawmakers and emphasizes the importance of natural hair as an inherent aspect of racial identity and equality. The CROWN Act seeks to ensure that hair texture and style do not become grounds for discrimination.

Today I joined my fellow CBC members in solidarity as they advocated for passage of the CROWN Act, which would ban discrimination based on a person’s hair texture or style. What matters is what’s in a person’s head, not on it. https://t.co/neFAjFW9Co

I was so proud to stand with my fellow #CROWNAct champions today to introduce this crucial legislation. We can't control the texture of our hair any more than we can the color of our skin. This bill would create important protections for natural hair in schools and workplaces. https://t.co/Z30Ujim9nw
No one should be discriminated against because of the color of their skin, or the texture of their hair. I’m proud to co-sponsor the #CROWNAct to ban racial hair discrimination in schools and workplaces, because our natural hair will always be worth celebrating. https://t.co/hz1ZV6vEVC
