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.
Stand for Children opposes Question 1, the reckless ballot initiative that seeks to eliminate the state income tax. If the initiative passes, state revenues could plunge by more than $12.7 billion, resulting in a 40% cut to state revenue.
Get more information and join Stand for Children in opposing Question 1!

Stand for Children congratulates the Leadership Council of the Readiness Project for convening a new public vision for public education in Massachusetts. We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to the Readiness Project vision, and anticipate working actively in the coming months to engage the public in the reforms needed to equip every child for academic, professional, and civic success.
