ALS.community 2.0 - Take 'a look!

Published on February 9, 2026
Hello Friends,

I wanted to share a quick update on ALS.community: 
We’ve rebuilt the platform from the ground up. 

We are allowing this current version of the site to come to a natural close, and are now migrating all of our users to a newer, more modern foundation.

The new ALS.community will feel very familiar, but it’s cleaner, more functional, and easier to use. You’ll recognize core features like the dashboard, people finder, events, and our nine Communities, with the Library now more accessible—and we’ve added an Art Gallery and a way to host your own communities, as well!
As our earliest adopters, we'd love to welcome you as part of the tester community, as we put the finishing touches in place before opening ALS.community to the general public. 

Your invite link to test out the new site:

*RSVP and Join from inside the new site!
Here, we will connect with each other, orient to the site, and share feedback as we continue to design this site together.
 
Warmly,
