Auto Care Association Launches Right to Repair Social Media Campaign

Aug. 21, 2024
As ACA President and CEO Bill Hanvey stated, the need for such pressure on Congress is especially high right now as lawmakers return from their August recess.

The Auto Care Association is calling on its members to participate in a social media campaign with the goal of encouraging Congress to take action on right to repair, according to a new press release.

Intended for both industry professionals and consumers alike to participate in, the “#RighttoRepair, RIGHT NOW” challenge asks individuals to visit repairact.com and send their legislator newly-drafted letters calling for action on the REPAIR Act.

After sending a letter, participants in the challenge are then asked to share a selfie with a message sharing what they did, and tagging three others—whether it be coworkers, colleagues, or friends—to do the same.

As ACA President and CEO Bill Hanvey stated, the need for such pressure on Congress is especially high right now. As lawmakers return from their August recess, REPAIR Act advocates want the legislation to be one of their top priorities to address.

“We want to make sure Congress knows how important right to repair is to the American people, and one of the best ways to capture their attention is through grassroots efforts like the '#RighttoRepair, RIGHT NOW' challenge,” Hanvey said. “In the shadow of an election that is less than 100 days away, I ask that all members of our industry partake in this social media campaign with us to keep this fight for the right to repair alive on Capitol Hill.”
