Let’s put a woman on the $20 bill

Do you feel it’s time for a woman to be on our currency?

If Women on 20s.org  (also known as W20) have their way the 7th president , Andrew Jackson, will be replaced on the twenty dollar bill.

Why Jackson?  “Jackson had strongly opposed the notion of central banking. Plus, he sought—and signed—the Indian Removal Act, which led to the expulsion of Native Americans from their homes.”

W20 is petitioning the President and Congress to put one of these women on the $20 bill by 2020, it’s the
“100th anniversary off the ratification of the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote. Anthony, an abolitionist and suffragist, campaigned for the passage of that amendment.”

The candidates are:
Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks, Susan B. Anthony, Alice Paul, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Truth, Rachel Carson, Barbara Jordan, Margaret Sanger, Patsy Mink, Clara Barton, Harriet Tubman, Frances Perkins, Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
An organization called Women on 20s wants to replace Andrew Jackson with a woman who's integral to U.S. history, like Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosa Parks
