Friend,

I’ve spent the last decade repairing what manufacturers said was “unrepairable” on my YouTube channel. 

But today, I want to talk about something bigger than MacBooks and iPhones.

It’s about mobility.
It’s about freedom.
It’s about the right to live independently - and how the government stands in the way of millions of people who rely on mobility devices like powered wheelchairs.

Most people don’t understand how government regulations stand in the way of people accessing and repairing the mobility technology they need to live a full and productive life. 

You see, mobility devices today use proprietary parts, locked-down software, and bloated service monopolies to make sure only the manufacturer can fix them, at inflated prices and on their own time. 

And all the while, real people are left stranded in their homes, stuck in bed, or forced to wait weeks just to get something as simple as a joystick replaced.

I’ve long been an advocate for Right to Repair and open source technology, but I want to introduce you to an organization that is pushing for these policies within the disability community: Mobility Independence Foundation and its founder, Thomas Quiter. 

If I were one-tenth the activist with consumer electronics Right to Repair that Thomas is for mobility equipment, we'd all have schematics by now. 

I've never met a more determined man. 

That’s why I told Thomas that I would help him raise $25,000 this month to help MIF revolutionize and deregulate mobility technology so they can provide impactful mobility solutions to those who need them most.

Technology is the greatest equalizer for the ability community. 

It empowers people to live their best lives regardless of their situation and supports their ability to achieve and preserve their independence. 

And between the knowledge available online and the popularity of technology like 3D printers, individuals with limited mobility can fix or even improve their mobility equipment more easily than ever. 

But it’s not just the devices that need to be repaired; it’s the regulations that surround them.

Currently, the FDA considers wheelchairs and other mobility devices the same as a prescription, and people are told they cannot modify or repair them.

By fighting for Right to Repair policies and open source technology, local communities can support each other as neighbors instead of relying on insurance companies or bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. 

This is why I support MIF’s mission to use open-source hardware rather than relying on government programs.
