Washington: Speak Up For Your Right to Repair

Two strong right-to-repair bills are sitting on Gov. Ferguson's desk—and he needs to hear from you. The Washington legislature passed right-to-repair legislation for consumer electronics, which bans restrictions that keep people and local businesses from accessing the parts, manuals, and tools they need for cheaper, easier repairs. It also passed a bill affirming the right to repair for wheelchairs. Thanks in part to support from EFF supporters in Washington, both measures are now headed to Gov. Bob Ferguson.

Please urge the governor to sign these important bills.

The right to repair is good for individuals, good for small business, and good for the environment. Given the costs of new electronic devices, it’s also a pocketbook issue that more lawmakers should get behind.

To date, seven states have passed right-to-repair laws. Please urge Gov. Ferguson to sign both bills and make Washington the eighth to join this elite club. Let’s keep this momentum going!

Gov. Bob Ferguson of Washington State

Subject: Please sign H.B. 1483 and S.B. 5680

Message:

Dear Gov. Ferguson,

As your constituent, I respectfully urge you to sign H.B. 1483 and S.B. 5680, which would affirm Washingtonians’ right to repair their consumer electronic devices and mobility devices.

Current restrictions keep people and local businesses from accessing the parts, manuals, and tools they need for cheaper, easier repairs. H.B. 1483 and S.B. 5680 are common-sense measure that will help Washingtonians save money, extend the life of their devices, and cut down on e-waste.

Several states have recognized the importance of the right to repair. Washington can join an important, growing right-to-repair movement by passing these bills. I respectfully urge your signature on both H.B. 1483 and S.B. 5680.

Sincerely,
