Ben & Jerry's Marriage Equality Ice Cream
Aww Ben & Jerry's renamed one of their ice creams for Marriage Equality. They make me so proud to be from New England. I'm going to have to get some http://www.towleroad.com/2015/06/ben-jerrys-say-d … me-change/
Though the Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings Inc. was bought out by the Anglo-Dutch Unilever conglomerate. B&J’s credo: “to carry on the tradition of engaging "in these critical, global economic and social missions" still holds. "Hubby Hubby", was Ben & Jerry’s first celebration of the legalization of same-sex marriage in the company's home state of Vermont. The carton featured the image of two men getting married beneath a rainbow.
Ben Cohen, in recent years, has developed a program to get money out of politics. <http://www.stampstampede.org> “The Stampede is tens of thousands of Americans legally stamping messages on our Nation’s currency to #GetMoneyOut of Politics. As the amount of stamped money grows, so does the movement to amend the Constitution.“
Thanks Ben Cohen & Jerry Greenfield for showing what Americans can and should be.
Anyway, this is what a company with a conscience looks like. Kudos to Ben & Jerry's!!
