The right to repair movement scored a big victory last week in Minnesota, where it got legislation signed into law that requires manufacturers to let independent shops and consumers buy the parts and tools necessary to repair their own equipment. The new law could make fixing your own devices, gadgets and appliances a lot easier in states across the country.

Peter Fischer talks about how he got involved in the movement and the obstacles he and others faced on the path to getting this law passed.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
