More quotes by Van Jones

Van Jones
Distorting attacks when people already don't trust you is not smart.
Van Jones
Anybody who's mad should run for something.
Van Jones
Government needs to do two things: put a price on carbon and invest heavily in new technologies.
Van Jones
The government built the grid to favor one industry over others. But I don't hear any conservatives screaming about that. Folks don't understand that the elite economic interests that are holding them down are also feeding them a bunch of lies.
Van Jones
Though the rampant racial injustices throughout the criminal justice system were offensive to me and to millions of other people, I've never drawn a tight circle around the black community to define the limits of my moral concern. But that narrative tends to get imposed on you, if you're an African-American activist.
Van Jones
I said and stand by it. I said that race was a part, and there was a part, that alt-right part, that was a part of the whitelash. And if you listened to the whole quote, you would agree with what I said.
Van Jones
If the road to social transformation can be paved only by saints who never make mistakes, the road will NEVER be built.
Van Jones
The main obstacle is the entrenched power of the legacy polluters.
Van Jones
We should stop calling ourselves environmentalists - and just call ourselves patriots.
Van Jones
I think there's going to be a tug of war in this country over who are the real patriots because at a time of national crisis, economic collapse and calamity, ecological peril and social dislocation, the American people deserve to be a partner to the American government.
Van Jones
The laws of supply and demand drive up the price, inevitably, over time. But solar and wind are abundant and renewable resources.
Van Jones
The prospects of green economic opportunity is going to be determined to a great extent by politicians arriving at some sort of bi-partisan resolution.
Van Jones
When somebody comes along and says, I think Washington, DC, sucks, that's not wrong.
Van Jones
People can tell if you don't like 'em. African Americans can tell we're not welcome in the Republican Party no matter how many times they say we are. All the signals that it's a party that tolerates anti-black racism is very clear.
Van Jones
If we stand for change, we can spark a popular movement with power, influence, magic and genius.
Van Jones
People are going to have to do a big reset. But this is a big wake-up call to the entire establishment, including the Democrats. And not just because of the failure.
Van Jones
Everybody should be mad but anger only takes you so far. At some point, you'll have outrage fatigue and burn out.
Van Jones
There is great wisdom, there's great strength and there's great beauty in all of our religion, and those should be marshaled for good.
Van Jones
The laws of spiritual physics will not allow you to lead somebody that you don't love, that you don't care about, that you resent, that you look down on. That's why the Republicans can't lead black people. And that's why Democrats increasingly can't lead these straight, white, male demons that we hate so much.
