The NYS ALS Registry bill has passed the legislature & awaits @GovKathyHochul's signature. With CDC’s #ALS Registry at risk in the federal budget, NY is taking action! Huge thanks to @Sen. Scarcella-Spanton & Asm. Stern & all advocates!

Thank you @crow.house.gov

🏳️‍🌈 10 years ago, marriage equality became law thanks to Jim Obergefell & John Arthur who were partners for 20+ years. After John’s ALS diagnosis, they married in Maryland in 2013. They fought for spousal recognition, and Jim took the case to SCOTUS—and won. John died 3 months later. #ALS #LoveIsLove

ALS United Greater New York is proud to have been an early funder of this important research and a long-standing supporter of Dr. Shneider and the Eleanor and Lou Gehrig #ALS Center at Columbia University. #ALSResearch neurosciencenews.com/als-fus-neur...

"Cutting medical research is giving up on the future — and we can’t do that,” said Sen. Durbin. Thank you Sen. Durbin & the #ALS Caucus. We must protect & increase ALS research funding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHca...

May is #ALSAwarenessMonth a time to honor resilience, fuel progress, and stand united. This month, we shine a light on those living with the disease, their caregivers & families, and push forward with urgency toward better treatments & a cure. Together, We End ALS! #ALS

URGENT: April 30 deadline! Ask your Rep to sign the FY2026 ALS Research funding letter supporting $375M for research that benefits patients & veterans. 2 mins to take action! app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-pag... #TogetherWeEndALS #ALSUnited

URGENT: Protect #ALS Research Funding! Congress may slash CDMRP funding in the CR, halting critical ALS research. ALS cases could rise 70% by 2030, & veterans face 2x the risk. We must act NOW! Tell your Senators to protect funding! als-ny.org/the-threat-t... #ALSResearch

We are deeply concerned about proposed CR, which would cut FY25 funding for CDMRP by 57%—from $1.5 billion to $650M. This devastating cut would severely impact critical ALS research, slowing progress toward new treatments. We urge Congress to protect this vital funding. #ALSResearch #ALS #ALSUnited

In May @iamals.bsky.social plants 6,000 flags on the Mall. Each flag represents someone affected by #ALS —those living with the disease, carrying a gene associated with it, or whom we have lost. Proud to be a community sponsor of this event. Add your or your loved one's name ➡ bit.ly/IAMALSFlags

We mourn the loss of legendary Roberta Flack. Her soulful voice & timeless hits like "Killing Me Softly with His Song" and "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" have left an indelible mark. She will also be remembered as a trailblazer, breaking barriers & dedicating herself to education & advocacy.

Funding for #NIH is being slashed, putting critical neuromuscular disease research at risk. These cuts target essential expenses that keep labs running. Without this support labs will shut and clinical trials will stop. #ALS research is verging on breakthroughs—this is NOT the time to cut funding.

ALS United Greater New York is proud to be a founding member of ALS United. #ALS #MND #TogetherWeEndALS
