More quotes by Jill Stein
Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders talked about free public higher education going forward, but not dealing with this burden of debt, which has really locked a generation into kind of a hopeless future right now.
Jill Stein
If my campaign is not in the debate, we will not have a real discussion of the emergency of climate change and why in fact we need a Green New Deal type national mobilization at the scale of a wartime mobilization in order to address this emergency.
Jill Stein
There are potentially hundreds of billion dollars, potentially more, that could be saved by moving to a clean energy system. Studies [on healthier diet] show those savings, in fact, are enough to pay the costs of creating 100% clean renewable energy.

Bernie Sanders had public support behind him that outstripped... in head-to-head polling, Bernie Sanders was ahead of all the other competition. This is a progressive agenda that the American people embrace every time they have something to say about it.
Jill Stein
As Bernie Sanders said himself, it's a movement, not a man. And that movement continues to move into our campaign.
Jill Stein
I'm a medical doctor by training. I'm a physician, not a politician. And I'm in this as a mother on fire.
Jill Stein
Bernie Sanders started off at about three percent himself and skyrocketed as word got out about him.
Jill Stein
One of the great things about running with Ajamu Baraka is that we speak to all of America.
Jill Stein
I think, charitable foundations are, in general, a good thing.
Jill Stein
Hillary Clinton and the policies of Hillary and Bill - passed by Bill, but enthusiastically supported and promoted by Hillary - have really created this right-wing extremism that has produced Donald Trump.
Jill Stein
We the voters demand the right to be in charge here, to be informed, to be empowered.
Jill Stein
In the words of Frederick Douglas, power concedes nothing without a demand it never has and it never will. We must be that demand. We are the ones we've been waiting for.

There's one other element I just want to be sure to mention here: that is that there are 43 million young people who are locked into predatory student loan debt for whom there is no way out in the foreseeable future given the economy that we have: this predatory Wall Street driven financialized low-wage service industry economy.
