Candice Fortin with 350 Action here, back to share the latest on our
newest campaign, Our Cities, Our Roots.

This week, we’re kicking off our scorecard project. We’re sending out
surveys and asking mayoral candidates across the country to respond to a
series of questions about their positions on climate.

Next up, we’ll grade their responses and create scorecards to share with
voters on where their candidates stand. [ [link removed]}&akid=478529%2E3868764%2EHgRTT4 ]Read the survey questions and
follow along on our website, where we’ll be publishing scorecards as
they’re released.

Our Cities, Our Roots is laser focused on local governments — one place
where we can combat Donald Trump’s far right agenda right now. We’re
releasing scorecards for mayoral races in 4 major cities to help voters
understand who will advance pro-climate, pro-justice legislation at the
local level. Because we know that local governments can have an impact far
beyond the city limits.

In Chicago, for example, Mayor Brandon Johnson enacted legislation
requiring all city-owned buildings to run on 100% renewable energy by 2035
— a move that will cut Chicago’s carbon footprint by 290,000 metric tons
each year.

And San Francisco has passed clean energy and climate initiatives that
have gone on to influence California, the West Coast, and the entire
nation.

Here are just a few of the things we’re asking this year’s mayoral
candidates in Detroit, New Orleans, Seattle and Boston to pledge their
support for:

* Zeroing out climate emissions,
* Supporting community-led renewable energy,
* Electrifying municipal buildings and vehicle fleets,
* Expanding EV charging infrastructure,
* Opposing new fossil fuel projects and infrastructure,
* Expanding rooftop solar,
* Promoting environmental equity,
* And more.

First up is Detroit — a city beleaguered by air pollution from the
Stellantis auto plant, utility shutoffs and rate hikes, and a legacy of
environmental racism. [ [link removed]}&akid=478529%2E3868764%2EHgRTT4 ]We’ll be releasing our scorecard of Detroit’s
2025 mayoral candidates later this month — keep an eye out for it on our
website!

Of course, our work doesn’t end after Election Day. After this year’s
mayoral races are over, we’ll move into accountability mode — monitoring
the winning candidates to ensure they’re following through on climate
promises made during the election.

We couldn’t do any of this without climate defenders like you by our side.
Thank you for everything you do.
