In a Fourth of July message, Ben & Jerry's called on the United States to "commit to returning" stolen Indigenous land.
The company defends its activism and states on its website that its social mission is to "eliminate injustices in our communities by integrating these concerns into our day-to-day business activities."
On Tuesday, the company marked the federal holiday celebrating the nation's founding by calling on the U.S. government to give back the "stolen Indigenous land" upon which the nation was formed, Ben & Jerry's said in an online statement that the company shared on Twitter.
"This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it," Ben & Jerry's tweeted Tuesday morning.
Ben & Jerry's proposed that the U.S. "start with Mount Rushmore." In the statement, the company highlighted the history of the iconic South Dakota sight and its significance to Indigenous Americans.
"What is the meaning of Independence Day for those whose land this country stole, those who were murdered and forced with brutal violence onto reservations, those who were pushed from their holy places and denied their freedom," the company said. The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights."

The Abinaki will be at your Waterbury plant in the morning. And they are pissed.
FYI. There isn’t a Ben and Jerry, it is owned by UNILEVER, who also owns Hellmans, Dove, Knorr, Vaseline, Lipton, Irish Spring, and a multitude of other products.
“their ice cream”
Don’t they have a flavor called “Schwetty Balls?”
All Democrats feel the US has on stolen land with no right to exist.
Their policies makes sense when you realize that is their goal.
In every debate, every Republican needs to ask his democrat opponent if he feels the US is on stolen land.
They will never be able to answer that question.
Two jews selling ice cream said....................
Naw. Unplug their freezers at their plant and disable them on all their trucks.
I stopped cold once I realized just who they were. I would rather eat week-old roadkill than their product.
They probably do as a matter of course.
Been in Jerry’s.
(Never to make another appearance in my fridge, btw.)
