More quotes by Van Jones
We have to accept that some very toxic stuff was marbled into the Trump phenomenon.
Van Jones
The problem is that we didn't fight the way we should've fought. We made it be about [Donald Trump] and [Hillary Clinton] as opposed to making it be about us. If we had said this was a fight, not about I'm with Her but I'm with Us then maybe we would've had a different attitude toward her.
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.
Van Jones
I would argue that we have a patriotic duty to move toward energy independence and clean energy. It is a matter of national security - energy security, climate security, economic security, job security, everything.
Van Jones
The usual pattern of demagogues is to promise the moon, fail to deliver, and then blame vulnerable others for those failures.
Van Jones
Dirty energy is a finite resource the more of it we use, the scarcer it becomes.
Van Jones
Businesses will have to lead the charge - demanding uniform, national, predictable rules to govern this transition, so that there is a level and rational playing field on which they can compete to make the next fortunes.
Van Jones
The disaster in the gulf shows: relying on dangerous, dirty fuels can at times impose incalculable costs. I have never heard of a wind farm collapsing and causing a massive wind-slick. I have never heard of a solar farm collapsing and leaving behind a catastrophic sun-spill.
Van Jones
Come, then, let us go forward together with our united strength - and win a better future for generations to come.
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
Any successful long-term strategy will require that the green wave fully and passionately embrace the principles of eco-equity.
Van Jones
People in red states and blue states can agree that clean air is better than dirty air therefore we should use clean energy where we can.
Van Jones
The boundless capacity of the African American spirit in this country to say Hallelujah anyhow, to use our joy as a weapon, to use our creativity as a weapon, to use our moral clarity and our deep experience as a weapon not just to save Black people but to save all of these people.
Van Jones
The message is going to be the same. It's very simple. We're either going to turn to each other or on each other.
Van Jones
I think the Muslim community is now being asked to bear an unfair burden to save a great faith from the fundamentalists and a great nation from bigotry.
Van Jones
Steve Bannon is the biggest threat to democracy that we've faced since the Civil War, but in the Civil War the champion of democracy was in the White House. So, even then, we were probably in less danger as a country than we are right now.
Van Jones
I am sharing my faith with my sons. I pray, meditate and read devotionally. But let me be clear: I am a person of faith not because I am a saint, but because I am a sinner.
Van Jones
We thought Donald Trump was leaving that world of entertainment and climbing over the wall into politics. In fact, what he did was he pulled the world of politics into the world of reality television.
Van Jones
We know that urban farms require less fuel for tractors and transport, but community gardens don't plant themselves.
Van Jones
Maybe we should be a little bit more tender-hearted.
