Question for the other #RepairCafes out there.

Do you use #RepairMonitor?

That's www.repairmonitor.org for anyone that doesn't know.

And if your #RepairCafe doesn't use Repair Monitor, what do you use?

I know you can do something similar with the #RestartProject but I don't know of any others.

A Message From #RestartProject

4 in 5 UK people want the govt to support repair more. But our politicians need reminding so we're bringing repair and reuse to them!

On the 11th June, we're running a repair event inside the House of Lords to show them first hand why repair & reuse matter.

Last year almost every MP that attended said it was because they’d heard from a constituent.
Please ask your MP to drop in to our repair event and help us get the message through.

"The UK is one of the biggest producers of e-waste in the world. Can ‘fixing factories’ help turn the tide? Campaigners think so – and want to open one on every high street ...

“'We’ll turn the Fordist factory on its head and forge new spaces for fixing, learning, curiosity and empowerment,' said the Restart Project, the repair charity involved in the project."

Today I'm celebrating both #AutisticPrideDay (#APD) and the tenth anniversary of the #RestartProject.

'About spoons and spudgers' is a post I wrote a few years ago that covers some of the intersectionality of being both a community fixer and #neurodivegent (#ActuallyAutistic).

The #RestartProject is already ten years old. Wishing all #restarters a very happy anniversary and looking forward to a future where the right to #repair is commonplace.

Until then, to repair is to rebel.
