Community Organizations
This is a non-comprehensive list of organizations serving the Durham, greater Triangle, and North Carolina community in all facets of environmental Justice. For more information please refer to the organization website.
NC Environmental Justice Network
“To promote health and environmental equality for all people of North Carolina through community action for clean industry, safe workplaces and fair access to all human and natural resources.

Duke Campus Farm
"The Duke Campus Farm is a one-acre working farm owned and operated by Duke University that provides sustainably-grown produce and food systems education for Duke and its surrounding communities. More important than the thousands of pounds of food that we grow, however, are the opportunities the farm provides for engaging and reimagining the ways we cultivate, access, value, and think about food. Our mission is to catalyze positive change in the food system. "
Energy Justice NC
"This coalition represents a diverse range of organizations representing social justice, youth, the environment and faith, as well as local community groups and businesses, who recognize the problems of monopoly control, serial rate hikes, and the threat of worsening storms and flooding which will threaten the current grid system.
Now is the time for this state to pull together and make wise, democratically-based decisions about our energy future – and to break free from the profit-driven interests of corporate monopolies. Now is the time for Energy Justice, North Carolina."
Eno River Association

Over a half million people hike, paddle, swim, picnic, and enjoy the outdoors in five regional parks the Eno River Association has helped establish since 1966.”
