====''The CROWN Act''====

The CROWN act, standing for "create a respectful and open world for natural hair" is a California law that prohibits discrimination in the school and workplace based on the style or texture of one's hair. The act was created in 2019 by Dove and the CROWN Coalition in partnership with California's State Senator Holly J. Mitchel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thecrownact.com/|title=The Official CROWN Act|website=The Official CROWN Act}}</ref> After a study conducted by Dove to reveal the degree of workplace discrimination towards black women, the data was used to spread awareness and elicit change for the act to be passed. CROWN continues to fight for this cause, with a recent work-study conducted in 2023 revealing that discrimination regarding hair texture still prevails. As of June 2023, 23 US states have enacted the CROWN act into law. <ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/inclusion-equity-diversity/crown-act-state-prohibit-hair-discrimination#:~:text=As%20of%20June%202023%2C%2023,including%20the%20U.S.%20Virgin%20Islands | title=CROWN Act: Does Your State Prohibit Hair Discrimination? }}</ref>
