A Woman's Place Is on the Money

 

 

 

 

 

Women On 20s aims to compel historic change by convincing President Obama that NOW is the time to put a woman's face on our paper currency. But who should it be? We believe that's for you, the public, to decide from a slate of 15 inspiring American women heroes. Welcome to the voting booth. Here you may learn things about the candidates you never knew and get your questions answered about the whys and hows of our game plan. We believe this simple, symbolic and long-overdue change could be an important stepping stone for other initiatives promoting gender equality.Our money does say something about us, about what we value.So together, let’s make our money egalitarian and inclusive!

It's our mission to generate an overwhelming people's mandate for a new $20 bill, to be issued in time for the 100th anniversary in 2020 of the Constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. Think of it as honoring the vote by casting your vote. The process of commissioning, designing and minting a new bill takes years, so now is a good time to act. 

We’re depending on you, the voters, to spread the word and spark a national conversation about respecting the accomplishments, power and influence of American women. That’s what will make this happen. So like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and email everyone you know with a link to this website. Won’t it be exciting to have a part in transforming American history into our story?

If you’d like to help us fund the most far-reaching, informative and empowering campaign possible, please click on the donate link under Support W2O above. Your contribution will be fully tax-deductible and no amount is too small.
