Lovely moment just now. Two of the first people we helped when we first set up Solidaritech are now working for IT companies, and they just stopped by with 20 donated machines to help us help more people.

Pay it forward, people. #TechnologyForEveryone

Repair news has been a bit of a mixed bag in 2023. We’ve seen some great steps forward in Right to Repair laws around the world, but at the same time, some huge manufacturers seem to be regressing. Dig into it all at the link below!

Great news: The European Parliament has just passed the right to repair. This is a huge win for consumers and an important step towards reducing waste and a more sustainable future 💚🌍💚
