The politics of fear has brought us everything we are afraid of, including the endless wars, the collapsing economy - all the rest.
Jill Stein

As Bernie Sanders said himself, it's a movement, not a man. And that movement continues to move into our campaign.

Democracy cannot function just on who do we fear the most, you know, or who do we hate the most we need an affirmative agenda.

As Bernie Sanders himself said, you know, the [Donald] Trump movement reflects the economic despair and misery that's been inflicted not only on the American people but people around the world.

[Hillary Clinton'] transition director being Ken Salazar, I think, indicates that she will continue to be a friend to fracking. It's not possible to solve the climate crisis while we continue to expand fracking.

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.

I'm a medical doctor by training. I'm a physician, not a politician. And I'm in this as a mother on fire. You could say, very concerned about our younger generation that does not have the jobs they need to get themselves out of the debt that they're in. And have the full weight of the climate crisis exploding on them - on their watch.

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.
Jill Stein
Image
Yet we have a voting system that forbids us from actually bringing our values into our vote, which is, in my view, quite a disaster.

Image
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
Image
We the voters demand the right to be in charge here, to be informed, to be empowered.
Jill Stein
Image
Bernie Sanders started off at about three percent himself and skyrocketed as word got out about him.
Jill Stein
Image
If people fear that they have to choose between their job or fixing the climate, they will always protect their job. Because that's how they live to see tomorrow.

We have a First Amendment for good reasons. We need a free press because without an educated electorate we cannot have a functioning democracy.

We know that from the studies, like the Gilens and Page study out of Northwestern and Princeton, if you didn't know it from real life. We're not moving forward, we're moving backwards, and the clock is ticking on this, whether you look at climate or the expanding wars.

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.

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.
