Welcome to Stand for Children in Massachusetts

Founded in 2003, Massachusetts Stand for Children is a statewide citizen voice for children. Our members' voices are heard in more than 80 communities across the Commonwealth. 

Legislature Approves FY2010 Budget

Petition Brings Results!

Thank you to the 3,500 of you who signed our petition urging legislators to equip communities with essential revenue and cost-saving tools. Legislators heard your plea – and the Senate responded by approving local revenue options, the telecom tax, and health benefit reforms as part of its budget.

2009 Campaign for Children

Task Force members from Chapters across the state, with member input, identified four planks to guide Stand's advocacy for the next three years:

  • No more lost ground
  • Efficiencies and cost-savings
  • Long-term funding
  • Innovation and investment to help all children succeed
