Thanks to your support, #Justice4DaisyAlford is now Georgia’s largest Elder Justice petition — and entirely grassroots-powered. 

This movement exists because ordinary people chose to stand against the normalization of violence and abuse toward elderly and disabled individuals. You have shown that courage, conscience, and community can move mountains when our elected leaders will not.

As we enter the final phase of 2025, the fight for justice for Daisy Alford — and for accountability and federal oversight — intensifies. I have formally contacted U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock and U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, requesting that they transmit a forthcoming letter to the appropriate Senate and House Committee Chairs. No constituent should ever be told to self-lobby Congress, and this movement refuses to accept that redirection.

In early 2026, supporters nationwide will be asked to contact their respective members of Congress to urge federal hearings. Violence and abuse against the elderly and disabled constitute both a human rights and public safety crisis in America. 

Federal agencies tasked with protecting elderly and disabled Americans continue to operate with opacity, inconsistent enforcement, and selective prosecution. With only 1 in 24 elder abuse incidents reported and even fewer prosecuted, millions of elders are left without justice. Assault injuries to older adults cost this nation $33 BILLION in 2022, yet elder justice remains overlooked in Georgia and across the United States. That must change.

This fight is bigger than Daisy Alford. It is about ensuring no elder or disabled person in America ever needs a petition simply to be safe.

Thank you for standing with us and for believing that dignity, safety, and protection belong to every human being regardless of age, disability, or zip code.  Please share this petition update across social media and within your networks.  Increasing awareness remains critical to this grassroots movement, and every valid signature makes a difference. 

Together, we can ensure elder justice is upheld as a human rights mandate, that aging in place becomes safe rather than perilous, and that elder and disability rights are finally treated as non-negotiable in Georgia and across America. #Justice4DaisyAlford
