Mothers Against Drunk Driving
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), based in San Antonio, TX, is dedicated to ending drunk driving, fighting drugged driving, supporting victims of these crimes, and preventing underage drinking. Founded in 1980, MADD has been pivotal in reducing drunk driving deaths by approximately 40% and saving nearly 475,000 lives. Their mission is driven by the belief that collective action can eliminate impaired driving and protect communities from harm. MADD is at the forefront of advocating for anti-drunk driving technology, with a bold goal that by 2030, all new cars will come equipped with this life-saving technology. Through their victim services, MADD offers invaluable support to impaired driving victims, survivors, and their families, including court advocacy, emotional support, and information on victims' rights. With over 65 offices across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada, MADD spearheads prevention efforts through educational programs like the Power of Parents and Power of Youth, aimed at empowering young people to make informed choices regarding substance use and impaired driving. By engaging the community, advocating for stricter laws, and providing essential victim support, MADD continues to make strides in creating a future free from preventable impaired driving tragedies.
