The Restart Project is turning Five!
This month we are turning 5. That’s how long an average computer is used before it’s replaced. For us, the five year mark is just the beginning. But we cannot carry on without you. You can donate or show your support in other ways.
We need your support!
We’re small but we’re growing to help push for better products, based on our experience helping people fix electronics in communities. Please support us to bring higher-level change
Restart Party Host profile: Meet Marie
Marie is a Restart Party Host in Leicester who started throwing parties a year ago. She is a PhD researcher at Loughborough University and green activist who knew next to nothing about technology before getting started, and made the link with Leicester Hackspace.
International spotlight on Restarters
Last week a couple of stories came out featuring the work of self-started Restarters. Without people who take the initiative to plan and host events, community repair would not be possible. We’re sharing here, truly proud of what they are achieving.
A visit to iFixit: dynamo of repair activism in the US
Over the holidays, between family visits, we got a chance to iFixit’s headquarters in central California. iFixit is a massive inspiration and ally.
