Join the largest trade association ever to represent the repair industry.
How do you build a movement that puts people back in control? You start with community.
At Repair.org, we believe the best defense against throwaway culture and manufacturer control is a movement of repairers, makers, fixers, farmers, and everyday people coming together to reclaim our right to fix the things we own. Real change happens when we act together, and this community is where it starts.
This movement isn’t about politics. It’s about power — the everyday kind that comes from knowing you can fix what’s yours. When we share tools, knowledge, and solidarity, we make repair possible for everyone and build an economy that works for people, not against them.
From the classrooms teaching repair skills, to the small-town shops keeping devices out of landfills, to the advocates pushing for fair laws, our community is what makes real change possible.
Join us. Learn, connect, and take action. Because when we fix things together, we fix more than just our stuff — we fix the system.

Repair Community
Repair is more than a movement — it’s a community built on trust, knowledge, and shared purpose. From farmers fixing tractors to students learning to solder, every repair strengthens the connections that hold our economy and our local communities together.
-
When companies make repair harder, communities make it possible. Repair cafés, local shops, and online forums keep skills alive and support each other when things break. Together, we’re proving that independence scales.
-
Repair teaches problem-solving, creativity, and resilience. It’s hands-on empowerment, the kind of education that builds confidence and keeps valuable knowledge in the hands of people, not the greedy manufacturers.
-
Every fix is an act of resistance. Joining the movement means advocating for fair laws, supporting small repair businesses, and helping your neighbors stay connected to the things that matter.
Representation
Behind every small repair shop is a story — a family business, a skilled trade, a local employer keeping a community running. Repair.org stands up for those independent repair businesses that make repair possible and keep jobs rooted where they belong: in our neighborhoods, not behind corporate firewalls.
-
We work with lawmakers, regulators, and coalitions to ensure small and independent repair businesses have a voice. When legislation threatens their survival, we’re in the room defending their right to compete and to thrive.
-
Repair keeps money in the community. Every phone fixed, appliance revived, or tractor repaired is a paycheck that stays local and a skill that gets passed on. Supporting repair means protecting the backbone of small-town economies.
-
We fight for policies that level the playing field, ensuring independent shops have access to the same parts, tools, and information as manufacturers. Fair repair laws mean fair business, plain and simple.
WE’RE STRONGER TOGETHER
The companies fighting against your Right to Repair are counting on us to give up, to believe that broken things can’t be fixed, that the system’s too complicated, that we should just buy new.
But repair isn’t just about fixing devices. It’s about fixing the power imbalance between people and corporations. When we come together, we tap into something deeper: creativity, solidarity, and the shared belief that ownership should mean control.
That’s why building a real, connected community of repairers — farmers, fixers, students, small businesses, and advocates — is one of the most powerful things we can do.
Each of us already belongs to a community: neighbors, local shops, repair cafés, classrooms, even those late-night YouTube how-to rabbit holes. Every one of those connections strengthens the repair movement.
Repair.org gives you the tools and confidence to be the best messenger you can be — to talk about what’s broken, why it matters, and how we fix it together. Whether it’s testifying at your statehouse, mentoring a student, or simply teaching a friend how to replace a battery, you’re part of something bigger.
