Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is an organization that was founded in 1982, it aims to spread awareness and help those who have been affected by drinking and driving. They offer services and support for victims of drinking and driving and they are affiliated with the Canadian Government. MADD has hosted and fund-raised many local events across Canada to spread awareness and educate the population of the danger of impaired driving. Statistics say that MADD has saved about 30,000 lives since 1982.]]> 2017-06-17 01:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mattramsaran/knhhlk1x65lb/wish/176706635 mattramsaran https://padlet.com/mattramsaran/knhhlk1x65lb/wish/176743250 MADD is apart of an "Anti-Impaired Driving Movement" according to their website. They state that they have saved about 36,642 lives between 1982 and 2010. Although about 43,276 Canadians were killed due to impaired driving, they have saved almost the same amount of lives that have been lost to impaired driving. 
MADD Canada's mission is to stop impaired driving to support victims of this violent crime. They also state that driving is a privilege, not a right, and that impaired driving crashes are not accidents but that they are a conscious decisions made by the individual. In other words, it means that the driver knew that they were going to drive after consuming drugs or alcohol. Some values that MADD holds include, compassion, leadership, inclusion, collaboration, and excellence.  ]]> 2017-06-18 02:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mattramsaran/knhhlk1x65lb/wish/176743250 mattramsaran https://padlet.com/mattramsaran/knhhlk1x65lb/wish/176771653 MADD Canada has been recently concerned about drive through liquor stores in Saskatchewan.

MADD has also been a very trustworthy organization, as they have not done anything controversial and they are reputable.  MADD is relevant in today's society because more and more young people are starting to drive and they are more inclined to be under the influence while driving. Drinking and Driving is the number one killer in Canada and by fighting against this they can continue to make significant changes in society. ]]> 2017-06-18 17:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mattramsaran/knhhlk1x65lb/wish/176771850 mattramsaran https://padlet.com/mattramsaran/knhhlk1x65lb/wish/176771878 I would fully support MADD Canada as they are very involved in local communities and always fight for a better society. They have done many things that affected the laws of impaired driving and have hosted many events to spread awareness of the issue.
