Ask your Congressional Representative to co-sponsor and support HR 1923, the "Women's History and 19th Amendment Centennial Quarter Dollar Coin Program Act". The act would require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue U.S. Quarters commemorating ratification of the 19th Amendment with emblems of the accomplishments and contributions of prominent women.
This legislation is a bipartisan measure, sponsored by Representatives Barbara Lee (CA-13) and Anthony Gonzalez (OH-16), that will honor women who fought for the ratification of the 19th amendment with a series of commemorative coins. Beginning in 2021, the proposed
series of coins would feature a 19th Amendment icon on one side. On the other side, a noteworthy woman, now deceased, would be highlighted. Each state and all U.S. territories would select one of its outstanding women to be honored in this series. For our young children and teens, this is an effective, exciting way to acquaint them with the 19th Amendment and over fifty famous women who have made vital contributions to our country.
THIS STARTED HERE IN ILLINOIS:
This initiative become a priority of LWV-US and evolved into national legislation because of the dedication and persistence of LWV
