Their recent press release demands "we must dismantle white supremacy". I never thought I could love Ben & Jerry's more. The well-known ice cream brand has time and time again proven to be the best for many reasons. Most notably, the progressive company stands for social justice warriors for more than their politically-charged flavor names.
I'm proud to say that my senior Facebook name was "Ben & Jenni's" because you best believe I stand with Ben & Jerry.
Founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield admitted: "When we founded this humble company in Burlington, Vermont back in 1978, we started with 3 simple beliefs: only the best ingredients go into our ice cream, our company should be run with integrity, and All Cops Are Bastards."
Ben & Jerry's is out here doing the most for the Black Lives Movement and demanding us to do the same.
While other companies are giving a slap on the wrist and pointing their fingers at society's structural racism, the popular ice cream company is calling everyone out and really said, "F**k the police."
The company didn't just condemn racism and police brutality but listed four specific steps we must all take. This is our solution.
Here are 18 reasons that prove Ben & Jerry's is officially the best ice cream company ever:
They won't stand for any B.S., including police brutality
Ahem, do you know what their new A.C.A.B Cookie Crunch flavor stands for?
