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.

There‘s a reason #TheCrownAct #SB63 never really makes it to the floor of the #KyGA #KYga23 and it’s not hard to guess. So much hard work by so many young people who are asking for something so simple, and right. I remember the beginning, at least here, and of course after I started paying attention, which I‘m sure was late. The most basic plea from the most sincere and hardworking young people who have carried this message to Frankfort and beyond. It‘s time.

"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.
