SC taxpayers invested billions in subsidies for Scout Motors. The promise was jobs and opportunity.
Now, 70 new positions are being announced. But there’s still no clear pathway for locals.

The cost of corporate giveaways in SC, including the $1.29B deal with Scout Motors does not guarantee those jobs will reach local residents, with no clear training or certification pathway in sight.

Scout’s PR machine is running full speed. But residents in Richland County are still unemployed and unheard.
We want tangible commitments for Blythewood, Fairfield, and surrounding communities.✊🏾 scforall.org/signon

Educators in South Carolina received a minimal pay raise in 2024, and our schools remain underfunded.
We’re investing in enforcement, not education. Control, not community.
If we can find the money to reward ICE agents, we can find the money to fund our teachers and schools. scforall.org/signon

We’re still asking the same question:
If Scout Motors took $1.3 billion of our tax dollars, why won’t they meet with the public for community benefits?
It’s time for real accountability. It’s time for a Community Benefits Agreement.
