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.

We should tell people we are working to protect our country. We are working to make America stronger for the long run.

Any successful long-term strategy will require that the green wave fully and passionately embrace the principles of eco-equity.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we did create Color of Change, an organization which focused on African-Americans in particular, because we felt that there was a big gap there in terms of online advocacy which had left the black community particularly vulnerable.

If all we are for is black people and white people who like black people, then I have nothing to say to Trump who is only for white people and black people who like him.

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.

You have the Republican Party, who see themselves in their heart of hearts as being a party of colorblind meritocracy. That's their great belief about themselves. And yet somehow you also have a party where a lot of racial resentment and a camp of even neo-Nazis have set up camp in their party. If you point it out to them, they get mad at you, not at the neo-Nazis.
