Mothers Against Drunk Driving
MADD, or Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending drunk driving, fighting drugged driving, supporting victims of these crimes, and preventing underage drinking. With a mission sparked by one woman's fight against drunk driving, MADD leads anti-drunk driving technology initiatives, advocates for stricter laws, and provides victim care services. One of MADD's key initiatives is the HALT Act, aiming to equip every new car with anti-drunk driving technology by 2030 to save lives and prevent injuries. Since its inception in 1980, MADD has helped reduce drunk driving deaths by approximately 40% and supported nearly one million victims through various services. MADD spearheads prevention efforts across the U.S., including programs to educate youth and adults about the dangers of substance use and impaired driving. Through advocacy, education, and support, MADD works towards its vision of making impaired driving a thing of the past, emphasizing collective responsibility for road safety.
