Celebrating 30 Years of Service
On June 1, 1996, over 300,000 people rallied in the Nation’s capital for Stand for Children Day.
Joined by movement leaders like Rosa Parks and Marian Wright Edelman, thousands of people took to the street to demonstrate their commitment to protecting the rights of children and demand our political leaders work to ensure and expand those rights.
That rally would go on to inspire the founding of Stand for Children, bringing together educators, parents, activists, and community members to advocate for children every day.
Join us and advocates across the country in our continued movement for public schools, families, and children:
We could not have done this work without the parents, educators, young people, community leaders, and philanthropic partners who have continued in the commitment made by the 300,000 rally-goers all those years ago— to fight for a brighter future for every child.
