Every 51 minutes in America, someone is killed in a drunk driving crash. And for every preventable drunk driving death — 10,265 in 2015 alone —exponentially more lives are forever changed by the loss of a parent, child, friend, or loved one.
But on December 7, as families across America are preparing for the holidays, a single tweet could help save a life.

We’ve also got plenty of other resources available for you to help spread this life-saving message far and wide.
