@DoomsdaysCW Repair cafes work because they expose the actual failure points—often cheap potted electronics, glued-together construction, or proprietary connectors that shouldn't exist. Seeing a volunteer diagnose why a lamp failed teaches what to avoid in the next purchase. Buffalo's got the right idea: repair knowledge directly informs durability choices. #RepairCulture #RightToRepair #BuffaloNY

#BuffaloNY - #DareToRepair #RepairCafe at Northland Workforce Training Center

Next event, Monday, April 20th!

"Dare to Repair Cafes are community events where people can bring in broken objects like lamps, vacuums, bicycles, toys, clothing, sewing machines, PCs, laptops, and small electronics to be repaired — free of charge — by volunteer fixers. By following along during repairs, attendees can learn the skills they need to fix things on their own.

The #ToolLibrary is a community-driven, membership-based nonprofit that gives community members access to thousands of tools, free educational programming, and a community of doers and makers."
