Right to Repair in the US
Massachusetts Right to Repair had a significant win passing an advanced right to repair law in the recent November 2020 elections in Massachusetts, US. Kyle Wiens responded in a response on their blog, "Modern cars can send maintenance information directly to the manufacturers, cutting out local mechanics. Question 1 makes sure that consumers can continue to fix their own vehicles, or get them fixed at the shop of their choice."
In the United States decisions are made on a state legislative level, so it is your local representatives that can help make a difference.
