Colorado Governor Jared Polis will sign our "Consumer Right to Repair Digital Equipment" law on Tuesday, May 28. It goes far beyond just consumer electronics -- including business and government IT, home appliances, and bans malicious parts pairing. Colorado has already passed Wheelchair and Agricultural right to repair laws -- making it the most repair-friendly state in the nation.

As we celebrate the launch of the Polaroid Repair Hub on iFixit it's essential to remember the moments that have shaped the modern Right to Repair movement. A pivotal point occurred back in January 2012, when Nikon decided to restrict the sale of repair parts to only those they authorized, fundamentally changing the landscape for independent repair shops and photographers alike. This decision meant local, independent camera repair shops were left without access to parts to repair Nikon cameras. That move by Nikon 12 years ago sparked widespread concern and debate within the repair community, and Kyle Wiens frequently speaks about this when framing the problem with repair monopolies. It raised critical questions about the future of repairability and the right of consumers to choose how and where to repair their equipment. It wasn't just about cameras; it was about the broader implications for all consumer electronics. Fast forward to today, and the conversation around the right to repair has never been more vibrant or crucial. The launch of our Polaroid Repair Hub is a testament to the strides we've made towards empowering users, promoting sustainability, and championing the right to repair. It's a symbol of what we can achieve when we work together with manufacturers for a more sustainable and open future. We've come a long way since the Nikon incident, with increasing awareness and legislative progress worldwide. Yet, the journey continues. Together with partners like Polaroid we're not just fixing devices; we're fixing a system. We're ensuring that the right to repair isn't just preserved but celebrated. It's about more than just cameras or laptops; it's about our right to maintain, repair, and cherish the devices that capture our world's beauty and keep us connected. Excited to be celebrating this significant milestone and continuing our work to advocate for a world where repairability is not a feature but a fundamental right.
