When Ben&Jerry's was sold to Unilever, the agreement gave the independent board of Ben & Jerry’s authority over the social mission. Unilever has usurped its authority and reversed the decision that was made in 2000. We can’t allow that to happen.

The media doesn't talk about it. Congress doesn't talk about it.
But the reality is, over the last 30 years, the top 1% gained $21 trillion and the bottom 50% lost $900 billion.

Who has power in this country? White people, rich people, politicians, and big business. Until the people with power in America use it to end this affront to our alleged values of fairness, equality and justice, we will continue to be a nation of hypocrites.
Our country, the last remaining superpower on earth, needs to learn to measure its strength, not in terms of how many people we can kill, but in terms of how many people we can feed, clothe, house, and care for.

The only real solution is to end endless wars. Reduce our military footprint around the world, and stop wasting 50+ percent of the discretionary budget on death machines and proxy wars.
