The Fair’s reach
Thank you to the incredible partners that pushed out the Healthy Homes Fair to the four corners of the DC region and beyond. Together, we ensured broad and diverse participation on the day of the event, and we allowed the event to transcend the walls of the DC Armory and reach many more who are now closer to using their homes to fight climate change!

over 4M engaged
Electrify DC’s social reach is still small and our advertising budget was limited, but the power of our connections to the community made the outreach for this event really POWERFUL. Thanks to you, we reached over 4.2 million people!
55 engagement partners
Electrify DC worked with 55 community based organizations (CBOs) to design the event and its programming to ensure it was accessible and engaging for their communities. Most of these CBOs then helped inform their members about the fair and about decarbonization in general.
