When somebody comes along and says, I think Washington, DC, sucks, that's not wrong.
Van Jones
What I saw during the Hillary Clinton campaign [2016] with data dummies who were more concerned with polls than people, they were more concerned with donors than voters. And it wasn't a lot of heart felt on that campaign and I think it left us vulnerable.
Van Jones
Civility isn't just some optional value in a multicultural, multistate democratic republic. Civility is the key to civilization.
Van Jones
The green economy should not just be about reclaiming throw-away stuff. It should be about reclaiming thrown-away communities. It should not just be about recycling things to give them a second life. We should also be gathering up people and giving them a second chance.
Van Jones
If you think love is weak, that's a personal problem because real love is the strongest thing in the universe.
Van Jones
Listen, here's reality. It is completely unfair and absolutely necessary that people who have been oppressed and marginalized have to lead everybody. That is MLK, that is Dolores Huerta, that is Fannie Lou Hamer, that is Ella Jo Baker, that is Nelson Mandela. You walk down the line.
Van Jones
Clean coal represents a breakthrough in the marketing of coal, but not in the science of burning coal.
Van Jones
We pull out of the ground death, we burn death in our power plants, and then we act shocked when we get death in the form of oil spills and global warming.
Van Jones
I think we were naive during the first two years of the [Barack] Obama Administration because the Republicans didn't fight us on this point during the 2008 Presidential Election. Obama and McCain both ran on a clean energy platform. But now, uncontested lies have eroded hard-won public understanding. So, we have to go back and make the case again.
Van Jones
The problem isn't that the green jobs aren't sexy enough. It's that they're not plentiful enough. A young person looking for a job isn't looking just for a sexy job, they're looking for any job.
Van Jones
We need a national renewable energy goal. Such a goal, sometimes called a renewable energy standard (RES), would spell out what percentage of our power America plans to get from renewable sources.
Van Jones
Progressives always like clean energy ideas. But conservatives should like this agenda, too.
Van Jones
We are talking about capital-intensive enterprises, so market certainty is the key. Investors and entrepreneurs have to know that there will be a guaranteed U.S. renewable energy market in which they can compete. Otherwise, they will create the next generation of green companies and green jobs in Asia, not here.
Van Jones
If people leave your coalition, whose fault is it? It's your fault. You have to build a coalition that's attractive to people.
Van Jones
Dr. King didn't get famous giving a speech that said,I have a complaint.
Van Jones
If we stand for change, we can spark a popular movement with power, influence, magic and genius.
Van Jones
Apparently, the fossil-fuel industry's strategy is to convince the American people that we should just burn all the way through the last of our oil and coal reserves.
Van Jones
The dirty energy crowd can be offset only by the power of the rising clean energy sector and the American people, aroused across party lines.
Van Jones
You have a new media system and Donald Trump emerged as a new master of it.
Van Jones
The time has come for a public-private community partnership to fix this country and put it back to work.
