MADD is not against responsible adult drinking.
We are working to end drunk driving and illegal
underage drinking. |

We're MADD. Mothers
against Drunk Driving.
We're dads and daughters, sons, and uncles, friends and
neighbors. And mothers. We're all ages and from
all walks of life. We speak of love and loss, but
also of survival and hope. We are committed to our
mission to stop drunk driving, support the victims of
this violent crime and prevent underage drinking.
Since our beginning in 1980,
we've been working to make our roads and communities
safer by preventing motorists from drinking and driving. And it's been paying off.
Our efforts helped reduce the number of alcohol-related
crashes and injuries. It is estimated that MADD has
saved more than 250,000 lives since 1980. Over
16,000 have been saved by the 21 minimum drinking age
laws alone.
But our work doesn't stop there. MADD also provides
much-needed comfort and support for victims and
survivors. And we are deeply committed to the
prevention of underage drinking because alcohol is the
deadliest drug for the youth today.
Statistics
show that kids are starting to drink as early as
age 12. And that mean they are four times more
likely to drink and drive.
As you can see, we have done so much. But there is much
more to be done. And we can't do it alone. We need
more people like YOU.
Join today, save lives tomorrow.
