“While I miss them (his two children), I remind myself that I am fighting for them and for all children. I am fighting so that they will forever have a home, a sustainable planet where they can breathe freely, and a vibrant and prosperous democracy where they can live freely.”
― Raphael Warnock

“The crisis of environmental disaster has too often been framed as a white, upper middle class issue. The movement simply has not done a good job at diversifying its ranks. People who care most about the environment also need to be saying a whole lot more about civil rights and justice. At the same time, many of my own friends who speak in such a powerful way about civil rights need to be saying a whole lot more about the environment. There is no greater human right than the right to breathe clean air and drink clean water.”
