Diversity and Social Justice

Welcome to Autoblog’s Diversity and Social Justice hub. We’ll highlight the many diverse voices that make the auto industry a vibrant place. We’ll illustrate the work companies are embracing to create change and show off individuals who are making their mark across the sector. Social justice is something Autoblog believes in amplifying and the content here will show what’s happening in the car business. We spotlight everything from talented car designers to social injustice and controversy. Here’s our plan of action. Please send your ideas for this hub to tips@autoblog.com.
