Transition Chesterfield Repair Café signed the Manchester Declaration: https://manchesterdeclaration.org/ in July 2019. This was drawn up at an event held in Manchester in October 2018, the first national gathering of repair activists. The Declaration asks UK legislators and decision-makers, as well as product manufacturers and designers, to stand for the Right to Repair. Repair should be more accessible and affordable. And we should adopt product standards so that products are better supported, well documented and easier to repair by design.
In September 2019, at the International Fixfest in Berlin, the campaign was extended to Europe and the campaign for the Right to Repair in Europe was launched, see https://openrepair.org/news/towards-the-right-to-repair-in-europe/.
