Mothers Against Drunk Driving , or MADD, is a non-profit organization in the United States. In the 1980s, MADD had tremendous success in changing public attitudes and laws regarding driving under the influence . While MADD still regards itself as a victims' rights organization, critics contend that it has shifted its original goals from preventing drunk driving fatalities to preventing any drinking and driving, and some, including the group's founder, call the current organization neo-prohibitionist.
