From Mass. Right to Repair

Hello All,

We wanted to let you know that our scheduled June 2 hearing on our Right to Repair legislation has been rescheduled for September. With such uncertainty surrounding the U.S. auto industry as it eliminates dealershi ps and jobs in Massachusetts, we were concerned that the Right to Repair issue and legislation would not get the attention that it deserves. While we certainly empathize with our colleagues in the dealer repair shops, it is more important than ever that we enact legislation that will protect the consumers’ right to choose where to have their car repaired, while also preserving the nearly 1 in 10 jobs in Massachusetts connected to the independent repair industry.

In the interim, we will continue to organize and build our troop strength in anticipation of September. Your active support and engagement, even during the summer months, will assure us of hitting the ground running. Please be sure to have your members sign up on our website www.massrighttorepair.com and let your legislators know that passage of Right to Repair this year has never been more important.
