"Our History
On June 1, 1996, 300,000 citizens came to Washington, D.C., for Stand for Children Day, the largest rally for children in U.S. history. Mrs. Rosa Parks, civil rights movement icon, through a statement of support challenged the nation to commit themselves to improving the lives of children, saying, "If I can sit down for justice, you can stand up for children." From that event grew Stand for Children, a 501(c)(4) grassroots advocacy organization, and Stand for Children Leadership Center, a 501(c)(3) leadership development and training organization."
