Push For "Justice For Allie Act"

At just 18 years old, Allie Hayes, who has Down syndrome, was targeted online by a predator who coerced her into sending explicit photos. Well, since then Allie and her family have spent years fighting to protect other vulnerable adults.

Well, this moment has been years in the making for Allie Hayes and her family. As you can see in this photo, it was just over two years ago that Governor Whitmer signed Justice for Allie into law, and now, here in 2026 this law could go from the Governor's desk to the President's desk.

As Allie continued to share her story, she got the attention of lawmakers in Washington like Congresswoman Debbie Dingell and Haley Stevens, who introduced the Justice For Allie Act today in Congress.

“And this is a proud moment, and it's going to be an even prouder moment when we get this bill signed into law.”

The legislation is very similar to the law passed in Michigan which garnered strong bipartisan support. The Hayes family hopes for the same here knowing justice for Allie is only justice because of Allie.
