Right to Repair in the US
Right to repair had a [significant win] passing an advanced right to repair law in the recent November elections in the US. Kyle Wiens responded in a response on [their blog](https://www.ifixit.com/News/46235/massachusetts-just-passed-the-worlds-most-advanced-right-to-repair-law), "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](https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative).
