🎉 MAJOR VICTORY! Hair Discrimination is now ILLEGAL in Pennsylvania!
After years of advocacy, Gov. Josh Shapiro has signed the Pennsylvania CROWN Act, introduced by our State Rep. La'Tasha D. Mayes and House Speaker Joanna McClinton, into law.
The PA CROWN Act makes clear that discrimination based on a person's hair type, hair texture, or protective hairstyle is strictly prohibited under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act. This law removes barriers in employment and schools, allowing Black Pennsylvanians to wear their natural hair with pride.
Congratulations, PA State Rep. La'Tasha D. Mayes and House Speaker Joanna McClinton, on your hard work and success!
