Why this petition matters

Started by Louis Rossmann

ANY MONEY DONATED TO CHANGE.ORG DOES NOT GO TO RIGHT TO REPAIR CAUSES, ROSSMANN REPAIR GROUP, OR LOUIS ROSSMANN. IT GOES TO THIS WEBSITE. DON'T BE MISLED. PEOPLE HAVE MENTIONED THEY DONATED VIA CHANGE.ORG - I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THAT MONEY GOES, BUT IT DOES NOT GO TO ANY OF US. I AM SORRY FOR THIS WEBSITE'S STRANGELY MISLEADING METHOD OF FUNDRAISING. THANK YOU.

CompTIA has put in a lot of effort to lobby against consumer protection legislation that would allow independent repair companies and consumers to service their own property. I am proposing that we stop 

  1. Spending money on CompTIA certifications
  2. Including CompTIA certifications in our hiring processes

until CompTIA releases a public statement confirming they will no longer lobby against Right to Repair legislation. I believe that CompTIA certifications like the A+ stopped being useful over ten years ago and that their paid efforts to support companies in their effort to make repair more difficult & out of reach for everyday consumers should be the nail in the coffin. Either productively contribute to society, or we stop giving you money.
