Programs, Services and Communications

The Peace and Justice Network serves as a hub for people and organizations working for peace, justice and sustainability.

The PJN website is a comprehensive resource for information about upcoming events and organizations working to build a more just and sustainable Greensboro.  The site maintains a calendar of local events scheduled throughout the community on issues that range from housing, economic and social justice, to health care, anti-death penalty, peace, and sustainable development.

Community members are able to post their group or organizations events onto our website as well utilize our services to distribute emails to our full listserv. All PJN members can access postings and receive emails about local activities scheduled within the community from a variety of organizations.

PJN e-mail announcements reach nearly 1,000 different people and a broad range of organizations throughout our community.  By being connected to the PJN, people learn about events and activities that bring people together to enrich our local community.

To strengthen community collaboration, trust and celebration the PJN sponsors several community programs and events, including:

  • Potluck and Community Fair
  • The Annual Concert for Peace, Justice and Sustainability
  • Regularly scheduled Alliance Building gatherings.
