Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1980 in California, United States, with the primary objective of ending drunk and impaired driving. The organization was founded by Candy Lightner, a mother who lost her daughter to a drunk driver. At the time, drunk driving was not considered a serious crime, and fatalities related to it were not uncommon. MADD has since become an influential organization that advocates for stricter DUI legislation, awareness campaigns, and victim support services. MADD operates on a national level in the United States, with chapters and affiliates in all 50 states as well as Canada. The organization has had a significant impact on drunk driving laws and policies, working closely with lawmakers, law enforcement, and judicial systems in advocating for stronger prosecution of impaired drivers. MADD also carries out community outreach campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving, including promoting the use of designated drivers, ride-sharing services, and educational programs for students. MADD provides support services and resources for victims and survivors of drunk driving accidents, including grief counseling and legal assistance. The organization also works to prevent underage drinking and drug use through educational programs. MADD’s efforts have helped to reduce the number of drunk driving fatalities in the United States, although drink-driving still remains a significant issue. With its continued efforts to promote safety and awareness, the organization is dedicated to making the roads safer for everyone.
