Hello! You are now in the home-headquarters of RID (Remove Intoxicated Drivers), the oldest anti-DWI national organization in the U.S. formed in 1978 in Schenectady, NY by Doris Aiken, current president. RID began its effective battle against drunk driving after the deaths of Karen and Timothy Morris, 17 and 19, the only Morris children, caused by an intoxicated 22 year old on Dec. 4, 1977.
With Chapters and/or Coordinators in 41 states, we depend heavily on volunteers, have no paid workers in the field, and do not hire professional fundraisers. 90% of all funds are spent on program, and 10% on administration and fundraising. RID is very grassroots.
RID's mission then and now is to deter impaired driving, and teen binge-drinking that often leads to intense trauma for all concerned. We are advocates for victims, enablers of tough laws, and watchdogs for law enforcement and adjudication in the courts. We educate the public about the impact of abusive alcohol use on life and health with materials, public awareness campaigns, and intense media interactions.
We're glad you are paying RID-USA's home page a visit and hope our menus will assist you in looking around. Then come back later, some of our presentations are still under construction.
Doris Aiken
President
