# Our Cities, Our Roots

### **Our Cities Our Roots helps voters make informed choices about which mayoral candidates are most committed to the climate policies we need.** 

Cities are where some of the most consequential climate legislation gets its start. Cities also influence states, which then influence regions and countries. Taking action, winning elections, and making progress in our cities can have a clear ripple effect at a time when that is urgently needed.

## Featured Cities: NYC, Detroit, New Orleans, Boston, Seattle

NYC, the biggest and most diverse city in the U.S., uses ranked choice voting, so 350 Action endorsed a ranked slate of 5 candidates in the mayoral primary election. Find out who we endorsed below under “endorsements.”

_**Stay tuned for mayoral scorecards for Detroit, New Orleans, Boston, and Seattle!**_

### **Mayoral Scorecard**

It can be hard for climate voters to assess where candidates for local office stand, especially in crowded election years. Our mayoral scorecard is here to help!

- **350 Action’s mayoral scorecard** assesses where candidates in key municipal races stand on their commitment to climate policies and climate justice
- 350 Action will then **create voter guides to educate voters** where their candidates stand on important issues, including climate justice
