Toward the end of Mitchell's speech, the importance of the SB-188 bill was apparent and passed unanimously with a 37-0 vote to move forward to the State Assembly.
Mitchell shared the news of the CROWN Act approval on Twitter, and many people were proud to see forward progress. One person wrote, \"We hope this is the beginning of the end to racial discrimination based on hair in this country and around the world!\"
Another organization praised Mitchell's efforts as a sign of relief saying, \"You don’t know how many times me and my colleagues struggled with this issue in the workplace and when going on interviews!\"
Others chimed in on social media with similar sentiments and excitement.
