Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is a non-profit organization based in Lubbock, TX, dedicated to combating drunk driving and supporting victims of impaired driving incidents. Founded in 1980, MADD's mission is to put an end to drunk driving, combat drugged driving, aid victims of these crimes, and prevent underage drinking. One of MADD's key initiatives is the HALT Act, which aims to equip every new vehicle with anti-drunk driving technology by 2030, potentially saving thousands of lives annually. Through prevention programs like Power of Parents and Power of Youth, MADD educates both teens and adults about the risks of impaired driving and advocates for stricter laws to deter offenders. MADD's impact is evident in the approximately 40% reduction in drunk driving deaths since its inception, with nearly 475,000 lives saved and support provided to almost one million victims. With a network of over 65 offices across the US, Puerto Rico, and Canada, MADD invites communities to join the fight against impaired driving and make road safety a collective responsibility.
