Owning something should mean more than just bragging rights and a receipt. Corporations are making it harder for you to repair the devices and products you already own, and forcing you to pay them again for repairs and replacements you don't actually need. It costs consumers millions worldwide, sends tons of perfectly fixable items to landfills, and hands corporations (ahem might we say big tech) control over your property.

We're chatting with Corynne McSherry and Hayley Tsukayama of EFF along with Adam Savage and Kyle Wiens, CEO of iFixit, to dive into how manufacturers lock you out of the stuff you own, how the Right to Repair movement is fighting back, and what you can do to take back control of your devices. Join the livestream online followed by live Q&A.
