An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Block Any Effort to Put a Living or Convicted Person's Face on U.S. Currency

1,720 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

Block any attempt to place a living person's image — or a convicted felon's — on U.S. currency. This is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of basic standards that have governed American money for over a century. Federal law has long prohibited placing living persons on currency for good reason: it prevents the kind of personality-cult politics that belongs in authoritarian states, not democracies. The push to put Donald Trump's face on U.S. bills or coins would shatter that precedent and set a dangerous new norm. A convicted felon should not be immortalized on the money every American carries. If this moves forward, it opens the door for any future administration to plaster their preferred figure on the national currency. That is not a road we should go down. Vote against any legislation or executive action that would make this happen.
