While Omicron has delayed the start (or re-start) of many in-person community repair events, come join these online virtual global Mutual Aid Repair initiatives: Discord: ๐๐น๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ and ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ผ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐.
-Discord: ๐๐น๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ถ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ is an online resource for knowledge sharing and training amongst repairers where they can broaden skills, share skills, cross-train, and bring items theyโre struggling to repair on their own (โstumpersโ.) Itโs available 24x7 around-the-clock around-the-world and provides backup to on-site repairers when they encounter something theyโre unfamiliar with.
-At monthly ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ผ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐ฐ๐ you present your broken item to a global assembly of expert community repairers and get suggestions for things to try. After all items have been presented, items/participants and repairers move to Zoom breakout rooms to implement the tips and hopefully, fix the items. (We are happy to set up language-specific Zoom breakout rooms โ just ask!)
The next world-wide Intergalactic Zoom Fixit Clinic is this Saturday Jan 15: itโs Zoom hosted from Ontario, Canada but anyone anywhere in the world is welcome to Zoom in. Bring your community or organizationโs broken things for repair, help fix, or just observe.
