Right to Repair is a grassroots effort to fight against the closed, monopolized repair tactics of many modern technology vendors and to raise bipartisan awareness of the need for consumers to be able to repair their devices. Joe Grand of Grand Idea Studio has written an open letter in support of Right to Repair.
This letter will be used during technology and repair legislation hearings throughout the country, particularly in response to vendors claiming that consumer repair weakens product security and pushing for laws that limit consumer rights to products they own. As a company shaped by the do-it-yourself ethos, Grand Idea Studio strongly believes that neither repairing products nor sharing information on how to do so are crimes.
