we've got
big news in the world of right to repair
for the first time we had a landmark
floor vote
in the senate and our legislation
overwhelmingly passed the new york
senate the bill is passed
this is the first time we've ever passed
a major floor vote like this
and it's a massive milestone now this
legislation requires that manufacturers
make available parts tools and
information the same information that
they have
that the apple store we would have
access to so you could install
and program a new home button in your
iphone say wouldn't that be cool we've
been working really hard for a long time
to get this done but we're not the only
ones
anyone who fully understands right to
repair
and opposes it opposes individual
freedom
it really honest to goodness is that
simple so really what we need at
the end of the day
is well-written well-considered
legislation
that does not allow that anti-consumer
anti-competitive
anti-repair behavior that we've seen
from so many companies
and that can preserve that ecosystem of
right to repair
rights or repair bills and legislation
have been pushed in over 20 states at
this point
and i seek to get as many people as
possible
to show up at hearings to contact their
local representatives and state senators
so that these bills can get as many
co-sponsors as possible
and eventually be put into law this is a
huge milestone because the big
corporations have been able to stop us
from getting this far
every step of the way right to repair
has been introduced in 27 different
states
so far this year 22 of them are dead
right now because
apple and microsoft and samsung were
able to stop it
unfortunately this is the end of the
road for new york this year but
our sponsors have told us they're going
to pick this legislation right up again
in january and we'll be that much
farther along having passed in the
senate
we've got this major validation of the
new york senate we have
the australian productivity commission
just released a major rich repair report
the u.s federal trade commission has
endorsed right to repair so we're
seeing all of these bricks laid in in
the foundation
of this policy we have overwhelming
public
support we are on the cusp of getting
this done the momentum is really on our
side with this
and we could absolutely use your help
join repair.org and get involved with
the fight today
