Here's the latest edition of The Restart Project's newsletter, full of upcoming community repair events and news View this email in your browser

For months, we've been following and supporting independent repairer Henrik Huseby in his long-fought legal defense against Apple, one of the richest companies in the world. But in a significant setback for the Right to Repair and huge blow to Henrik, Norway's Supreme Court yesterday ruled in favour of the tech giant. As the European Right to Repair movement concludes, Apple was able to weaponise copyright law to shut down independent repair: bad news for consumers, repair businesses and the environment. > Read the full analysis and take action at the European Right to Repair campaign In better news, our online gathering for the UK repair community starts at 8pm (BST) today! We're kicking things off with a keynote from Josh Babarinde, CEO of "Cracked It" - an inspiring mobile repair social enterprise staffed by young ex-offenders and youth at risk. This will be followed by a session on Right to Repair in the UK.
