More quotes by Van Jones
We tend to overlook the fact that a mature clean energy economy in fact will give an opportunity to ordinary people to earn more money as clean energy workers/entrepreneurs - and save more money, through conservation and energy efficiency.
Van Jones
Big government? Who wants that? I just want effective government. That means America's government needs to be big in some places, small in others and non-existent in others.
Van Jones
It's time to start bringing the congregations down to City Hall and to ask the mayors, the city councils and the school boards, What's the plan? What's the local government going to do for us?
Van Jones
The Whitehouse is talking different because we are walking different
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
I have many sources of inspiration. I'd have to point to Dr. Martin Luther King, first and foremost. But my parents were good, hardworking folks who kept us in the church and the public schools, and out of trouble, for the most part.

Progressives always like clean energy ideas. But conservatives should like this agenda, too.
Van Jones

We have gotten to the point where we're more like [Donald] Trump than Trump. Trump is hateful. Now you have liberals hating on love. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. There's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes you have to fight fire with water. I'm happy to fight it either way.
Van Jones
Basically, we all just had to live in the Trump reality television show, and now we're kind of stuck there for at least four years. Maybe eight.
Van Jones
I have become the poster child for calling all the Trump people racists, when, in fact, I don't think they're all racists, but they tolerated racism. And that's a problem.
Van Jones
The problem that we have is that most Americans don't even study American history, let alone Pinochet, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin and all these guys.
Van Jones
A one-sided analysis of anything always leads you into the wrong direction.
Van Jones
If we keep pulling death from the ground, we will reap death from the skies.
Van Jones
I'm not going to let Donald Trump take away from our community, something that Fannie Lou Hamer shed blood to give us. Something that Ella Jo Baker braved conditions in the South and sweatshops in Harlem to give us.
Van Jones
To make sure we aren't training people for jobs that don't exist, the government should provide companies with loans or loan guarantees. And the government should also directly employ people to do things like coastal restoration, land restoration, reforestation and similar programs that absorb carbon and protect America's beauty.
Van Jones
Ocean's remarkable stories, depth of commitment, and eloquent communication make him a fantastic resource for conferences, universities, and indeed everyone who wants a potent dose of grounded inspiration.
Van Jones
Let's stop wasting billions of dollars on prisons, which send people home who are too often less capable and more damaged than when they went in. We would have safer neighborhoods if we spent the same money on true rehabilitation, job training, employment and entrepreneurship.
Van Jones
I'm not calling for redistributing wealth I'm calling for reinvigorating our stuck energy sector, so some new entrepreneurs can create some new wealth.
