In addition to the great art festivals going on in the Triangle this weekend (Centerfest, Blues Festival, and SparkCon), Durham plays host to a conference that aims to shape the future of our state. In the B. N. Duke Auditorium on North Carolina Central University’s campus, public, private, and community groups will gather to discuss how to create “quality local jobs” that “improve our communities, all while protecting our health and our environment.”

Green Jobs in North Carolina Now is a one day conference (tomorrow, September 20th) leading up to a national call to action (the following Saturday, September 27th), coordinated in cities around the country.

Featured speakers include Majora Carter, founder and former Executive Director of Sustainable South Bronx, and Rev. Dr. William J Barber II, President of North Carolina’s NAACP branch.
