This year's fight for your right to repair your own stuff is on, with bills in at least 25 states and public hearings about right to repair in Illinois and Washington State last week. Right to repair activists are optimistic about 2022. And there was good reason for optimism in last week's hearing in Washington State about House Bill 1810. What was most exciting about this hearing was actually who wasn't there: specifically, Microsoft. Microsoft's headquarters are in Washington State, and every time a right to repair bill has been introduced there before, Microsoft's lobbyists have been out in full force. This time, though, Microsoft is now neutral today, and for us that's a really big win! If you're in Washington State and want to help out, now is the time! Calling or writing your legislators is a great way to make your voice heard. At https://washington.repair.org/, there's a form for you to email your repair story to your legislators, and a calling system that will connect you directly. In the US, every state with repair legislation in consideration has its own repair.org domain: https://illinois.repair.org/, https://california.repair.org/, https://nebraska.repair.org/.
