Dear to whom this may concern,
I am writing this essay to explain how organizations such as MADD, LULAC, and NAACP can help U.S. citizens change laws that people feel need to be changed. Also explaining what these groups do.
First is MADD or Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Well MADD is a lobby group for drinking and driving and they’re a huge organization throughout North America. Their main goal is to prevent people from drinking and driving because it is a killer in Canada and US. MADD has helped save more than 268,000 lives through research-based programs, public education, etc. A national opinion survey of college-age individuals found that 70 percent favor 21 as the minimum age to sell or serve alcohol and 65 percent want rules more strongly enforced. Teens use alcohol more frequently and heavily than any other illegal drug combined.
LULAC stands for League of United Latin American Citizens. It was created to combat the discrimination that Hispanics face in the United States. Established February 17, 1930 in Corpus Christi, Texas, LULAC was a consolidation of smaller, like-minded civil rights groups already in existence. Since its creation, the organization has grown it has a national headquarters, active councils in many states, and a professional staff. LULAC continues to operate however, while it is perhaps more nationally visible than ever, in recent decades it has lost considerable strength due to a decreasing and less-active membership base and decreasing funds.
NAACP stands for National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, originally called the National Negro Committee. Founded Feb. 12. 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest, largest and most widely recognized
