On their own, children in America do not have the power to influence our democratic system to meet their fundamental needs. That's why Stand for Children exists.

Stand for Children organizes concerned citizens to successfully lobby for children's needs. Since 1999, Stand members have won 92 state and local victories worth more than $1.7 billion in public funding for more than 2.4 million children.
