TheCrownAct, which bans natural hair discrimination, passed in the House for a second time. Here's what happens next.
in order for the Crown Act to become law across the country: At least 51 of the 100 Senate members must vote for it to pass — then, it gets handed off to the President, who has the final choice to veto or sign it into law. Put that way, it sounds like individual citizens don't have much control over what happens now — but that's definitely not true.
To help ensure the Crown Act's passage in the Senate, you can contact Senators in a multitude of ways. One of the easiest and most common is email: In fact, the Senate's website has awhere you can identify and local each state's pair of senators and where you can write them a message. You can also call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 224-3121, where an operator can connect you with the Senate office of your choosing.
In all honesty, it's silly that anyone even has to consider making hair discrimination illegal — in a perfect world, it would have been from the start. Still, if we're going to ensure better and safer lives for Black people in this country, everyone needs to chip in and help. So have at it folks; let's get this sucker passed.
