More quotes by Van Jones

As champions of green jobs, we're asking questions that progressives should like, like How are we going to avoid baking the planet, and How are we going to create jobs for ordinary Americans? Meanwhile, we're offering solutions that conservative should like. I'm not calling for more welfare I'm calling for more work.

If [Donald] Trump throws 20 million off of health care, that's going to be - if he handles this badly - and it's very hard to handle it right, then that's a - a huge advantage in the mid-terms for us.

When you take the people who most need work and connect them with the work that most needs doing, you save. You save that young person’s life, you save a whole bunch of money, and you save the soul of this country when you invest and give people a chance, give people hope, give people opportunity.

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.
