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.

We should use the transition to a better energy strategy as an opportunity to create a better economy and a better country all around.
Van Jones
I think it would be good to get somebody a job. Right now we're in a bubble of green rhetoric and a bowl of actual green investment and job creation. So my goal for next year is to move from inspiration to implementation on this stuff.
Van Jones
Environmentalists and clean energy champions should stop telling people that we are working for sustainability, which nobody understands.
Van Jones
America's government has to get the public investments right.
Van Jones
I'm willing to forgo the cheap satisfaction of the radical pose for the deep satisfaction of radical ends.
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
Ninth generation American, ma'am, and I'm the first one in my family born with all my rights. I'm a ninth generation American. And so we have not escaped because I went to Yale all the problems of this country.
Van Jones
I'm only 42, and I've got a lot more tricks up my sleeve.
Van Jones
It's become fashionable to put down people who we then expect to vote for us.
Van Jones
A green economy begins to replace some of the clunking and chugging of ugly machines with the wise effort of beautiful, skilled people. That means more jobs.
Van Jones
When it gets harder to love, love harder.
