Current update on SB26-090 (Colorado's misguided "wrong to repair" bill):
After spending a bunch of the senate session on Tuesday in debate over a bunch of amendments, the bill is tentatively on the calendar for tomorrow, again, to have its third reading in the senate.
Please keep up the pressure - Coloradans and the rest of the country rely on being able to fix broken things in order to protect them from cyberattack. The repair is not the problem here.

🚨 Current update on the Colorado bill (SB26-090) that would rescind "right to repair" for "critical infrastructure" 🚨
Please share widely.
The bill is currently scheduled for "third reading (final passage)" in the Colorado senate for Monday, April 13, first thing in the morning. If you have delayed until now doing something, this is your moment to act. You do not need to be a Colorado, or even a US resident, to speak up!

Paul Roberts (secure-resilient.org) is putting together a list of people willing to be signatories to a letter opposing this bill. Please reach out to him if you want to sign on to that letter.
Wayne Seltzer, who runs the Boulder U-fix-it Clinic, shared a link to this petition/letter to legislators: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/support-your-right-to-repair-in-colorado
Danny Katz of CO PIRG is running a petition drive to send messages to the legislature. Petition link: https://pirg.org/colorado/take-action/tell-your-senator-protect-colorados-right-to-repair-law/
Finally, and this is important, rep. Brianna Titone (the author of the original 2024 right to repair bill) informed me that some of the advocates for right to repair who have been writing to legislators have been threatening or offensive in their language they used in their messages. This is unhelpful and will not persuade lawmakers to change their minds, so please try to encourage others to remember that these legislators -- who are on the fence -- can be persuaded, and are not (necessarily) inherently evil or corrupt, and just lack understanding.Talk/write to them with that frame of mind.
Thank you!

I have an all-hands-on-deck call to action today.
At what point do we stop owning the things we buy, and just rent everything?
That's the #enshittification problem that the #RightToRepair movement is trying to address.
In Colorado, where we finally (just 3 months ago!) saw the nascent first awakening of a new right to repair law come in to effect, that infant could end up smothered in its crib this week, as the Colorado senate considers a bill that would roll back the right to repair for any device considered "critical infrastructure" - and yes, it is that vague in its wording.
If you care about whether we get to control and use (to whatever purpose we see fit) the things we buy -- including commercial servers, firewalls, routers, or other electronic gear -- then please consider signing on to this petition urging the Colorado legislature to reject the fearmongering and bad-faith arguments of the tech industry, who are making a desperate attempt to protect the long term revenue stream of support contracts.
Don't get angry; Get active. We can win this one with reasoned arguments. Please ask the Colorado legislature to not give in to FUD, and embrace Coloradans' resiliency and willingness to fight the good fight.
