Join Senator Cynthia Mendes, Senator Tiara Mack, and Representative Briana Henries for a joyful celebration of natural hair in the Rhode Island State House. This is the year to pass the Crown Act in Rhode Island.

The CROWN Act was created in 2019 by Dove and the CROWN Coalition, in partnership with then State Senator Holly J. Mitchell of California, 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 and public schools.
