Put a Woman on the 20 Dollar bill

Created by J.S. on March 24, 2016

In recent times, the government has been petitioned to change the design of the $20 bill, swapping ex-president Andrew Jackson for a woman. The Women on the 20s campaign held a poll, which determined that the government should specifically consider Araminta Ross (Harriet Tubman) for this honor. She was a former slave, abolitionist, humanitarian and suffragist.
The Treasury's proposal of changing the $10 bill instead is unacceptable. Alexander Hamilton, as a great visionary and architect of our financial system, deserves to stay on the bill. Andrew Jackson was a slave owner, betrayed the Supreme Court and was responsible for the Trail of Tears, and caused the financial panic of 1819. Jackson does not represent our country's values.
A woman's place is on the money, specifically the $20 bill.
