I AM ALS is the largest community movement made up of the very people living with, impacted by, and highly motivated to end ALS. We’re fueled by urgency to find a cure and a track record of real impact.
Without ACT for ALS, Expanded Access Programs—and the promising therapies, research breakthroughs, and hope they make possible—could end. We've made too much progress as a community to stop here. Ask your representative to vote YES on reauthorizing ACT for ALS: bit.ly/fundALS
ALS prevalence is expected to rise by more than 10% by 2030. More people will need access to promising therapies. That's why ACT for ALS must move forward. ALS doesn't wait. Neither can we. Ask your representative to cosponsor ACT for ALS: bit.ly/fundALS
We've contacted representatives nationwide thanks to your advocacy, and Senators from 11 states have already cosponsored ACT for ALS. Let's keep the momentum going. Ask your Senators to cosponsor today: bit.ly/fundALS
ACT for ALS-funded Expanded Access Programs are a critical source of hope for people like Anne. They can help slow progression in some people living with ALS and generate data that brings us closer to a cure. Ask your representative to cosponsor ACT for ALS at bit.ly/fundALS
Caregivers do so much—and too often carry the financial burden alone. The Credit for Caring Act would provide a federal tax credit to help eligible family caregivers. Tell your legislators to help pass it: bit.ly/credit4care

The Tim Lowrey ALS Panel Series is one of our most requested programs. Learn about ALS directly from people living with it and bring an impactful conversation to your workplace, school, or community. Request a panel: bit.ly/TLPS-ALS

ALS progresses too quickly for many surviving spouses of Veterans to qualify for full DIC benefits under today's rules. The Justice for ALS Veterans Act would fix this unfair policy gap. Urge Congress to pass it: bit.ly/ALSvets
Happy Independence Day! ❤️🤍💙 Today, we're celebrating the power of community and hope. Wishing you a safe, memorable, and meaningful 7/4 from all of us at I AM ALS. 🇺🇸

Shoutout to the I AM ALS Legislative Affairs Team! 💙 Just halfway through 2026, they've already led 59 meetings with Congress, generated 10,564 online advocacy actions, and secured 80+ ACT for ALS cosponsors in the House and Senate. Progress takes community. Support their work: bit.ly/LegTeam
The CONNECT for Health Act would make the telehealth flexibilities we relied on during the pandemic a permanent part of Medicare. For people living with ALS, better access to care shouldn't be temporary. Tell your legislators to support the CONNECT for Health Act: bit.ly/ALSConnect
Our advocacy got 17% of the House to cosponsor ACT for ALS 2.0. 💙 Let's keep the momentum going until every Senator has heard from the ALS community. Ask your Senators to cosponsor ACT for ALS today: bit.ly/fundALS

The ASSIST Act would expand funding for vehicle adaptations that help Veterans maintain independence—like ramps, lifts, kneeling systems, and safer entry/exit modifications. It's a common-sense policy change that deserves support. Take action: bit.ly/ALSASSIST
