The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes and prevent underage drinking.
Introduction
Since 1980, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has led the nation in the battle to end the 100% preventable crime of drunk driving. The tireless work by MADD’s extensive network of volunteers, advocates and staff has reduced drunk driving in America by over 50 percent, saved 380,000 lives and served nearly 1 million victims. Using data to drive policy positions and advocacy activities, MADD has helped change hundreds of laws that have made roads safer and increased accountability for the wrong and dangerous decision to drive while impaired. MADD’s compassionate volunteers and staff dedicate their lives to eliminating drunk driving, while also fighting drugged driving, an emerging problem on our roads, and preventing underage drinking through extensive education aimed at parents and the under 21 population. By uniting volunteers and staff, and by working hand-in-hand with state and federal agencies, law enforcement, the judicial system, elected officials and traffic safety partners, MADD is advancing our mission to eliminate drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes and prevent underage drinking.
