Abstract
Many organizations have been born from tragedy, but few are as widely recognized, powerful, and enduring as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).Primarily grassroots and volunteer driven, MADD has over 600 state organizations, chapters, and community action teams in each of the 50 states as well as aYliates in Guam, Puerto Rico and Canada.MADD consists of over three million members and supporters nationwide.MADD is the United States leader in the fight against drunk driving.In 1980, the public's perception toward alcohol impaired driving began to shift.The spark that ignited this passion began after the tragic death of a 13 year old girl, Cari Lightner, after she was struck and killed by a repeat oVender drunk driver in California.A small group of mothers joined together to express their outrage at a system that did not appropriately sanction what was soon to be recognized as "the most frequently committed violent crime" in America.Since that time, with the help of MADD, over 2500 antidrunk driving, victim rights, and underage drinking prevention laws have been passed.MADD is also the largest crime victim assistance organization in the world.MADD has 26 national board of director members, including a youth director, who manage the business of the corporation, set the direction of the organization, and establish public policy positions based on research.These public policy positions help guide the organization's legislative agendas and determine the actions that will most eVectively address the drunk driving problem.In Dallas, Texas, Dean Wilkerson, National Executive Director, oversees a national oYce that develops public policy and education programs, victim assistance support and programs, public relations programs, and support for state and local aYliates.MADD is funded by individual contributions, corporate gifts, foundations, government grants, in-kind donations, licenses, promotions, and restricted funds.Our success in securing public dollars to support this vital work comes from the progress the country has seen in reducing death and injury.Although drunk driving deaths and injuries have declined, drunk driving crimes continue to occur at astounding rates.As with all not-for-profit organizations, MADD faces the challenge of maintaining public support, and changing

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
