MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The mission of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is to end drunk driving, help fight drugged driving, support the victims of these violent crimes and prevent underage drinking.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

The mission of MADD is to eliminate drunk driving, fight drugged driving, prevent underage drinking, and support the victims of these crimes. We do this with research based programming and our Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving which encompasses a four point plan to a future of No More Victims. Here in Tennessee, several programs and services are available throughout the state that address various components of our mission and our Campaign’s four-step roadmap.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Victim Services Victim Services Although MADD is widely recognized for its public awareness programs and legislative efforts, the organization is also one of the largest crime victim assistance organization in the world according to the federal government. MADD provides emotional support to victims as well as valuable information such as how the criminal justice system works and how to apply for Crime Victims Compensation funds. Trained Victim Advocates also supply a list of referrals such as professional counselors, civil attorneys, and clergy who are skilled at working with crash victims. Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving focuses on three important steps we all can take today to stop drunk driving tomorrow: Support our heroes. Support high-visibility law enforcement to catch drunk drivers and discourage others from driving drunk. Sober to start. Require ignition interlock devices, or in-car breathalyzers, for all drunk drivers, to prove they are sober before their car will start. Secure the future. Support the development of technology to determine automatically whether or not the driver is above the legal limit of .08 and failing to operate if the driver is drunk. Prevent Underage Drinking At MADD, we know that our hopes for a safer future are riding on tomorrow’s drivers. By getting today’s youth off to a good start, we are taking a giant step toward fulfilling our vision of a nation without drunk driving. That’s why we’re focused on tackling underage drinking, a problem that threatens the safety of our kids and endangers entire communities, now and down the road.
