@senvincenthughes.bsky.social on the CROWN Act: “Natural hair is beautiful. This law protects Pennsylvanians by abolishing any notion that natural hairstyles are not appropriate in professional, educational, or public settings.” www.inquirer.com/politics/pen...
The CROWN Act gets closer to protecting Pennsylvanians from being fired for wearing Afros, braids, or locs
The act especially impacts Black men and women who are required to cut or straighten their natural hair, often using heat and harmful chemicals.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.
