More quotes by Van Jones
I am a proud Christian who has been greatly tutored by Hindus and Buddhists and Sufis and others, and I stand and I speak from that place.
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
To the God in myself is probably the most honest answer. I think everybody has a divine destiny.
Van Jones
The more we deploy the technologies to capture wind and solar power, the cheaper those technologies become.
Van Jones
America should be leading the world in green and clean solutions, and human rights. We shouldn't be leading the world in wars and incarceration rates and pollution. We can be a better country. I think we're going to be a better country.
Van Jones
In other words: we can fight pollution and poverty at the same time, with the same method. We can beat global warming and the global recession at the same time, with the same method. We can do this by putting people to work re-powering America with clean energy.
Van Jones
The Russians have had and continue to have an active program to undermine American society.
Van Jones
I think the African American community, the Latino community, the Native American communities have borne an unfair burden in the last century, and continue to.
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.
Van Jones
Most green-collar jobs are middle-skill jobs. That means they require more education that a high-school diploma, but less than a four-year degree.
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
The main piece of technology in the green economy is a caulk gun.
Van Jones
The chief moral obligation of the 21st Century is to build a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty. Those communities that were locked out of the last century's pollution-based economy must be locked into the new, clean and renewable economy. Our youth need green-collar jobs, not jails.
Van Jones
If you look at my career over the past twenty years, I've always been trying to look around corners for low-income communities of color.
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
Trump is much, much worse than people understand. A lot of his supporters are actually much, much better than people know. Most of his supporters are not signed up for an authoritarian coup. Most of his supporters are signing up for better jobs for themselves.
Van Jones
Higher energy costs are unavoidable in all future scenarios.
Van Jones
If we do nothing, the ensuing climate catastrophe will wreck our economy - including wreaking havoc on our food production systems. All credible scientists agree on this point.
Van Jones
We have to accept that some very toxic stuff was marbled into the Trump phenomenon.
Van Jones
That we could live in a country with no rules for the rich, no rights for the poor, and no middle class to speak of, is wrong it's a crime against the next generation and we've got to do something about it.
