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
This [2016] election was lost because a total of 70,000 people - out of 120-130 million votes - in the Rust belt, but as a result America is in the calamity.
Van Jones
There is great wisdom, there's great strength and there's great beauty in all of our religion, and those should be marshaled for good.
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.
