Stand for Children

Stand for Children Stand for Children is a unique catalyst for educational success and social progress, to create a brighter future for us all

We believe ALL children deserve an equal opportunity to succeed in life. Education is the key that unlocks the door to success. Far too many children, through no fault of their own, aren’t getting the education they need to make it in life. We are passionately committed to righting this wrong. We have more than a decade of experience working together with parents, communities and organizations as

partners. Together, we elect state legislators and local officials who will be champions for education. We deliver policy victories at the state level. And we follow through to ensure new policies are effectively implemented in public school classrooms. Stand for Children staff work state by state, community by community in order to make the biggest possible impact.

30 years ago, Stand for Children marched on the nation's capital with over 300,000 advocates to demonstrate their commitment to protecting the rights of children and demand our political leaders work to ensure and expand those rights.
Travel back with us to 1996 and listen to then-student Priscilla Ramirez on the importance of standing up for young people.
