Today: Speak out for your right to repair!

In 2012 & 2020, voters passed laws that ensured residents’ right to repair their car wherever they wanted. Now, we need to make sure we have the same rights with our electronics.

The Digital Right to Repair Act, H.341 and S.166 will guarantee our right to repair electronics — like smartphones, computers, and even farm equipment. It requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair businesses with fair access to service information, security updates, and replacement parts.

MassPIRG and Repair.org have holding a lobby day today. Please write and call your legislators now and ask them to co-sponsor the Digital Right to Repair Act.

• Repair.org has a form you can use to send an email: massachusetts.repair.org;
• Calls have the most impact. You can find your legislators and their office phone numbers by filling out this form.

A big thanks to Ji Yong and others for reminding us about this effort.
