More quotes by Jill Stein
Women do not have to embrace principles of imperialism, corporatism and militarism in order to be a feminist. There is another feminist choice, which is consistent with the broader principles of feminism.
Jill Stein
It's this mingling of the economic and political elite which is really destroying our democracy.
Jill Stein
In other words, speaking truth as a social movement may move you forward in some ways, but to really lock in and have real enduring change, it takes both a movement on the ground and an independent political party that is itself the defiance of that two-party corporate big-money control of politics.
Jill Stein
The politics of fear has delivered everything we were afraid of. It's important to take a lesson from the days of Richard Nixon, when people stood up under a very oppressive president with a very oppressive Supreme Court.
Jill Stein
[ Iraq and Afghanistan] don't get better, they only get worse. Bombing them has only enabled them to grow and multiply.
Jill Stein
Even the majority of their own voters do not support them. It's something like 25 percent of [Donald] Trump supporters that actually support him. The majority actually hates Hillary [Clinton], and the same is true for Hillary. One-third of her supporters really like her. They dislike fear and hate Donald Trump. What's wrong with this picture?
Jill Stein

Another study described by NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which they will be putting out in print soon, they have only described it verbally, calling it an Oh my God study, suggesting that we could see nine feet of sea level rise as soon as 2050.
Jill Stein

Jill Stein
Our fundraising went up about a thousand percent and that's largely been sustained.
Jill Stein
I think it depends on what agenda that female president brings. It's not good if that female president brings an agenda which is actually hostile to the cause of living wages. Women need equal wages to men, but not equal wages at poverty.
Jill Stein
Democratic Party elites have been caught red-handed, sabotaging a grassroots campaign that tried to bring huge numbers of young people, independents and non-voters into their party. Instead, they have shown exactly why America needs a new major party, a truly democratic party for the people.
Jill Stein
I don't use those terms [like Uncle Tom], and I would never speak in that kind of language.
Jill Stein
I have the unique liberty as part of the Green Party that operates on the same terms. We have the ability to actually speak for everyday Americans. We are not controlled by major donors, by the influence of big banks, by fossil fuel giants, by war profiteers or insurance companies.
Jill Stein
We also call for a freeze on the bank accounts of those countries, including our allies, with due warning.
Jill Stein
By needlessly provoking him [Vladimir Putin] and humiliating him, we empower far worse possibilities in Russia.
Jill Stein
[My mother] was busy being a homemaker and was not an activist by any means.
Jill Stein
You have endorsements, everyone from Meg Whitman to the neocon John Negroponte and others who are all saying, you know, we're with Hillary [Clinton] now.
Jill Stein
We are plunging headlong into a cold war, and we have 2,000 nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert.
