Sign the petition: Give us the Right to Repair!

Electronic waste is the fastest-growing waste stream globally, and that's no accident — it's a business model.[1]

Manufacturers make it deliberately difficult to repair the devices you already own. When your phone screen cracks or your laptop slows down, they want you to throw it out and buy a new one. They lock down parts, hoard diagnostic tools, and make independent repair nearly impossible — not because it's technically necessary, but because it's profitable.² The people paying the price are everyday consumers, independent repair shops, and farmers.

Right to Repair legislation compels manufacturers to make parts, tools, and repair information available to consumers, independent shops, and anyone who needs them.² Less waste. Less unnecessary manufacturing. Less resource extraction and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Less money flowing out of your pocket and into theirs.²

Right to Repair means we can fix more, waste less, and keep money in our own pockets instead of manufacturers'.

Whether it's a $1,500 iPhone or a $500,000 John Deere: If you bought it, you should be able to fix it.
