• Poverty feeds into the clean-water crisis, which contributes to hunger, and so on. There's undeniable interconnectivity among these issues.

• A veces no nos enfrentamos a lo que ocurre en nuestro mundo, ya sea una crisis del agua o de la tierra, porque nos da demasiado miedo y nos resulta doloroso. Igual que no queremos enfrentarnos a las partes de nosotros mismos que nos resultan demasiado incómodas o dolorosas. Tenemos que enfrentarnos a ambas y amarlas para poder sanarlas.

• In Cuba, what we do not accept is the comparison of our participatory democracy with bourgeois democracy which has not solved anything for humanity. The only thing it has done is to take humanity towards a precarious point. They have created the environmental crisis, the food crisis, the water crisis and the pandemics all over the world. The reason for that is because they have taken the majority of the resources and given it to militarism paid for by the western powers because it is a great business for them; this is the real truth.

• Flint is a city of a hundred thousand that was having a rough go of it even before its water was poisoned by lead. And when the water crisis finally grabbed national headlines this winter, the Democratic presidential candidates noticed. Hillary Clinton sent senior staff to investigate and asked her supporters to donate to a fund for Flint's kids. Bernie Sanders called on Michigan's Republican governor, Rick Snyder, to resign.
