Ben & Jerry's is releasing a new ice cream flavor in support of a $10 billion bill by Rep. Cori Bush that would replace police officers with social workers and other first responders in incidents of mental health and substance abuse.
The Vermont-based ice cream company announced the limited batch, Change is Brewing, in a press conference Monday featuring the company's 'head of activism', Jabari Pall, and Bush herself.
The cold brew-flavored ice cream, complete with marshmallow swirls and fudge brownies, was developed in partnership with black-owned coffee and tea company Blk & Bold and New York's Greyston Bakery, known for its brownies.
'The flavor supports the vision of the world in which every community is safe and everyone including black and brown people can thrive,' Pall said.
The illustration on the pint features a black woman painting the word 'liberation' on an easel.
'I'm the St. Louis congresswoman and I'm proud to be the St. Louis congresswoman, to be someone whose work was born primarily out of the Ferguson uprising,' Bush said at Monday's press conference, referring to her time community organizing in Missouri after the 2014 police killing of Michael Brown.
'For decades, our communities have suffered under the violence of intentional disinvestment and underfunding.
'Our healthcare, our education, our housing, our green spaces all left in shambles while our police spending per capita continued to increase to its present level as one of the highest in the country.'
Ben & Jerry's also partnered with the Movement for Black Lives for the new flavor.
Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist, unveiled the $10 billion People's Response Act in June.

The socialist hippies can enjoy B&J ice cream. I’m thankful I have other choices.
Lightfoot’s 2022 budget also boosts police spending to $1.9 billion, up from $1.7 billion in 2021, a move that will likely be criticized by some as elected officials debate the best way to address the city’s violence, which has remained elevated after surging in 2020 to some of the highest levels in decades.How did "Defund the police" get flushed so quickly down the memory hole?
If an ice-cream company took right-wing positions that rivaled what Ben & Jerry’s does on the left, every store that carried them would be picketed and boycotted until they stopped. Conservatives don’t do that - we let things slide.
“Why does Cori Bush want social workers to be killed?”
It creates another problem situation where politicians can apply another incorrect solution. Proving to the dumb masses that they need politicians.

This is going to end so badly. Those social workers better be carrying tazers and glocks.

If you want to reduce mental health emergencies then get rid of psychologists and psychiatrists. They create them.
Ben and Jerry — got pleasure from adding their own “special sauce” into their ice cream when first starting out.

“How did “Defund the police” get flushed so quickly down the memory hole?”
Getting people killed, injured or scared poopless, to include the governor, and especially the governor, will do it every time. Nothing like a little reality. Works every time.

Ben and Jerry should personally go on a ride-along when a social worker is dispatched to a mental health call. I’d pay to see that.
It’s not an ice cream company. It’s a political propaganda organization that sells ice cream.
Do you buy Unilever...?
