Anti-discrimination #legislation to add protections for natural hair, “traits historically associated with race” into #Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act is heading to the governor’s desk after passing the Legislature Thursday. The bill would implement a policy known as the “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act,” or “#CROWNAct,” for short.

"Did you know that Black women's hair is 2.5 times more likely to be perceived as unprofessional? Learn how tech industry leaders can make the workplace more equitable for Black women in STEM." #TheCROWNAct
"The Crown Act" is the best named piece of Legislation I've heard in a long time.
Call your Republican Senators if you have them! Let's get this bastion of discrimination stomped out for good.
The CROWN Act stands for “Create a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” created in 2019 to ensure protection against discrimination based on race-based hairstyles by extending statutory protection to hair texture and protective styles such as braids, locs, twists, and knots in the workplace
