On International Repair Day, PennPIRG and @PennEnvironment attended the Easttown Repair Cafe at Tri Ivy Church. Repair cafes are excellent community events that teach people how to fix their items. Attendees at this event successfully repaired tech, appliances, and clothing.
The Right to Repair Bill (HB 1512) just passed the PA State House with bipartisan support! This is a huge win for consumers, small businesses, and our environment.
@RepHanbidge @RepGregScott @RepBradford @RobMatzie Let's keep the momentum going and get this vital consumer policy approved by the state senate!
.@Microsoft365 announced they plan to abruptly end support for Windows 10 on October 14th. This will make up to 400 million computers obsolete despite their functional hardware.
PIRG is part of a growing coalition, including @iFixit, @R2REurope, @EnvAm, @ConsumerReports, @RepairTogether, @RepairCoalition, @RestartProject, @securesilient, Repair Café International, and 350+ supporters all advocating for this continued support!
