Last week saw the 248th celebration of the founding of the United States on July 4th … recognition of the colonies declaring their independence from England. And it saw the first ever celebration of Repair Independence Day as some 49 million U.S. residents - 13% of the population - won the freedom to fix their own stuff. That came as two states, Minnesota and California enacted right to repair laws passed last year.

In this podcast, Fight to Repair Newsletter Editor in Chief Paul Roberts speaks with Liz Chamberlain the Director of Sustainability at iFixit and Nathan Proctor, US PIRG's Director for the National Right to Repair Campaign.
