Thanks for sharing these idioms! You can also "stand up for someone/something" or "stand by someone's side". Ex. I'll stand up for you no matter what happens or I'll stand by your side regardless of what happens

Google dictionary provides these three examples:

• "BBC stands for British Broadcasting Corporation."
• "We stand for animal welfare."
• "I won't stand for any nonsense."
