For over 40 years, Mothers Against Drunk Driving has been working towards improving services to crime victims. MADD Michigan is dedicated to supporting victims, building trust, and engaging communities to help empower victims of impaired driving crashes. Victims of both drunk and drugged driving crashes have constitutional rights that can be found in our Michigan State Constitution, Article 1, section 24.
MADD Michigan’s Victim Service team works hard all year to provide services to victims of drunk and drugged driving crashes. Each year in April we take a week to provide extra community awareness by celebrating the progress that has been made in securing rights, protections, and services for victims of crimes. In 2021, the National Crime Victim Rights Week is set for April 18-24. The theme is “Support Victims, Build Trust, Engage Communities.”
