The Crown (Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair) Act is essential legislation —making it illegal to discriminate against someone for wearing their hair natural or in protective styles like braids, twists, knots, or locs. Currently, only seven states have passed the Crown Act, but that number should be 50.

Hair discrimination is racial discrimination, period. Together, we have the power to end it. To demand the Crown Act gets passed in Tennessee, sign the petition.
