Women On 20s
By Shannon Postrion
W
omen On 20s is a nonprofit organization with a goal to change history. The organization allowed individuals to vote for which of the many female American heroes who they felt should be on the $20 bill. The organization believes that the $20 bill is important because the year 2020 is the 100th anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, which allowed women the right to vote. The woman chosen is one who led others and dared to make a change with her opposing thoughts of female empowerment. The organization hopes that this will create more social, political and economic equality for all women.
Women On 20s held two rounds of voting. From March 1st to April 5th, Americans were able to vote for 3 of 15 candidates. These 15 candidates were chosen out of 100 of America’s accomplished women. The women had to have followed the rules of the U.S. code, and they were judged by how they had impacted society and the level of difficulty they faced when pursuing their goals. During the second round of voting, voters chose one of four finalists. The top four finalists were Eleanor Roosevelt, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Cherokee Chief Wilma Mankiller. The voting for the second
round ended on May 10, 2015, Mother’s Day. On May 12, the organization announced Harriet Tubman as the woman that the organization will propose to President Obama as the new face of the $20 bill.
