RID-USA Blog

blogNews from the Oldest anti-DWI National Organization in America

Uniquely among all the other national anti-DWI groups, RID has never accepted funding from the alcohol industry or other special interests that do not support the goals of RID. Over 90% of all funds are spent on programs, less than 10% on administration and fund raising. RID exists solely to deter drunking driving, the binge drinking that precedes it, and to help victims regain hope and justice in their lives.
