Nobody can come and be involved in the #LoveArmy unless they have a heart.
Van Jones
The time has come to move beyond eco-elitism to eco-populism.
Van Jones
The thing about this [Donald] Trump phenomenon is that there's a lot of good stuff in it the anti-elitism, the concern for working class jobs.
Van Jones
Government-mandated and -subsidized ethanol from corn will go down in history as the Iraq War of environmental solutions: ill-considered, costly, and disastrous.
Van Jones
I'm not going to let Donald Trump take away from our community, something that Fannie Lou Hamer shed blood to give us. Something that Ella Jo Baker braved conditions in the South and sweatshops in Harlem to give us.
Van Jones
That's one component: rather than creating job-training pipelines that put these kids at the back of the line for the last century's pollution-based jobs, we need to be creating opportunities for them to be at the front of the line for the new clean and green jobs.
Van Jones
In America, we're in the middle of a cyberwar with Russia.
Van Jones
There's a level of self-hatred in giving these people too much power. They're sorry. They're corny. They're hateful. They need some help. Help is on the way. We'll help them whether they like it or not.
Van Jones
America cannot be America in the new century until it deals with these new questions of gender, including the trans issues, and the questions around faith and Islam.

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
Playing the villain gets you higher ratings on reality TV and saying outrageous stuff on Twitter gets you more followers.
Van Jones
In countries where there are real civil wars, people go through a lot, and we should be willing to go through a lot to help them.
Van Jones
If [Donald ] Trump goes after - if Trump fails, frankly, to stand up right now for the Muslim community - right now, Muslims are being bullied. Women wearing hijabs are being bullied and people are saying, Trump, Trump! when they're doing it.
Van Jones
The time has come to move beyond eco-elitism to eco-populism. Ecopopulism. To change our laws and culture, the green movement justice, political solutions and social change.
Van Jones
Environmentalists and clean energy champions should stop telling people that we are working for sustainability, which nobody understands.
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
There are some cities that are doing good stuff, but there aren't enough of them. If you don't fight for what you want, then you deserve what you get. And in politics, if you don't ask, you don't get at all.
Van Jones
It's time to start bringing the congregations down to City Hall and to ask the mayors, the city councils and the school boards, What's the plan? What's the local government going to do for us?
Van Jones
The laws of supply and demand drive up the price, inevitably, over time. But solar and wind are abundant and renewable resources.
Van Jones
A lot of liberals think all the Trump voters are a part of the alt right, neo Nazi camp, which is not true. That's a tiny, tiny slice.
