I've been working on this #FacingSouth story for a while, so I'm excited to finally be able to share it! I wrote about the new #Rivian plant being built east of #Atlanta and the implications it holds for a #justtransition and the importance of engaging frontline communities in these huge #EV plant deals. The #South is quickly becoming a very important place for #EVmanufacturing, and companies like Rivian and #Hyundai will have a large presence in #Georgia https://www.facingsouth.org/2023/07/ev-mega-deals-pit-states-against-souths-rural-communities

As the South becomes a hub for electric vehicle production, local resistance to a new Rivian plant in Georgia raises questions about who stands to benefit from these developments.
