The Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD)
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing alcohol-related traffic crashes and injuries. Founded in 1980 by a mother who lost her daughter to a drunk driver, MADD works to raise awareness, advocate for stronger laws, and support victims affected by drunk driving. The organization also promotes responsible alcohol consumption and advocates for measures like sobriety checkpoints and ignition interlocks. Through these efforts, MADD aims to prevent future tragedies, enhance road safety, and provide resources and support for victims and their families.
