Fixit Clinics are fun community-based workshops where neighbors, friends, and families work collectively to learn how to repair broken items.
Fixit Clinic is part of the Right to Repair movement, which is gaining traction nationwide, with California becoming the latest state to pass a law meant to empower consumers to fix their own stuff instead of buying new. In 2009, Peter Mui, a longtime champion of the Right to Repair movement, launched a Fixit Clinic in Berkeley. These volunteer-run pop-up workshops allow participants to teach each other how to mend broken appliances.

Joined by the team behind KQED’s local news podcast The Bay, Mui helps us understand what’s so appealing about the Right to Repair movement, and discusses changes in California law requiring appliance and electronics manufactures to give consumers the tools they need to fix their own stuff. The event will also include a hands-on workshop about how to fix broken objects!

This event is kid-friendly! Suitable for ages 8+

Azul Dahlstrom-Eckman, KQED Reporter
