Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a non-profit organization based in Rochester, NY, dedicated to combating drunk driving, drugged driving, and underage substance use. Founded in 1980, MADD's mission is to end impaired driving, support victims of these crimes, and prevent underage drinking.
MADD champions anti-drunk driving technology and leads prevention efforts nationwide. The organization advocates for stricter laws, provides victim assistance, and conducts court monitoring to ensure consistent sentencing for offenders. MADD's impactful programs, such as Power of Parents and Power of Youth, educate both adults and youth on the dangers of impaired driving.
With a focus on collective change and community engagement, MADD aims to shift behaviors and attitudes towards road safety. The organization's bold initiative, the HALT Act, strives to equip every new car with anti-drunk driving technology by 2030 to save lives and prevent injuries. Through advocacy, education, and victim support, MADD continues to make strides in making impaired driving a thing of the past.
