November 20, 2025
Exciting news out of Harrisburg with a win for racial and gender justice!!!
This week, HB 439 (AKA the CROWN Act) passed in the PA Senate!
The Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act explicitly prohibits discrimination based on hair, hair textures, and hair styles. This is an important step forward in advancing racial and gender justice and addressing long-standing discrimination, particularly against Black women and girls.
