I planned to make an ice cream to memorialize and celebrate the life of Renee Goode. But after the murder of Alex Pretti this weekend, I didn't have it within me to make ice cream. It's clear that the murders of Renee and Alex AND the government's lies were not a mistake, but standard operating procedure. ICE must be defunded and disbanded.

Jerry wanted you to hear this from him. We built Ben & Jerrys to stand for peace and love. It was needed then and it’s needed more than ever now. Which is why Magnum Ice Cream must #FreeBenAndJerrys See Jerry’s full message at and be part of the campaign.

Wondering what’s been going on with Ben & Jerry’s and the Magnum Corporation? They’re illegally dismantling the independent board, they are preventing them from speaking out about Gaza, Trump and more. We’re asking them to sell to a group of social investors that support the values. #freebenandjerrys Learn more at

In honor of Renee and Alex and all of those who were murdered by the masked militarized heavily armed thugs of ICE - I've made The Maxi Hearts of Minneapolis. The chunks are the hearts of Minneapolis. The base ice cream combines some favorite flavors of the immigrant community—coconut and passionfruit. This is not a Ben & Jerrys flavor, it’s Ben’s Best flavor. Because Ben & Jerry’s is also under a form of occupation and they’re not gonna say it, so I will: ICE is a masked lawless rogue para military force that is blatantly violating the constitution and trampling on our rights as US citizens. ICE must be defunded and disbanded. #ICEout #FreeBenAndJerrys

Great question from @Milliedrewgeorge and one I want to clear up: In 2000 Ben & Jerry’s was sold to Unilever as a publicly held corporation. Jerry and I did everything that we could to try to keep it independent, but SEC rules forced the board to make a decision to have the company sold because Unilever offered so much money for it. BUT there was a legally binding agreement that we negotiated that maintained the social mission. Now Magnum is violating that legally binding agreement. #freebenandjerrys

Last month, we launched a challenge to design and name a watermelon flavor for Palestine. Your response has been amazing. But did you catch Magnum Ice Cream response to the reports that they’d blocked Ben & Jerry’s from developing a flavor for a cease fire in Gaza. They told The Guardian it was “not the right time” to make the flavor. Back in 2024, thousands of civilians were being killed every day “Not the right time” ? Magnum Ice Cream says it will protect the Ben & Jerry’s social mission, but the cracks are showing. 🍉 Keep sending in your designs and names for the watermelon flavor 🍉 Share this post with the tags #FreeBenandJerrys and #JusticeforPalestine 🍉Tag Magnum Ice Cream to let them know we won’t be silenced

.Magnum Ice Cream owns Ben & Jerry’s, but Mr. Orange calls the shots. Speak on racism? “No.” Support student protesters? “No.” Free speech? “Only when I talk.” So we’re making a flavor that contains a special ingredient - bitter orange Name this new flavor + what goes in it 🍊👇 #FreeBenAndJerrys

This is the Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors - or was. But now Magnum is trying to kick all of them off the board. They have been the guardians of the progressive values and activist social mission of Ben & Jerry’s since 2001 and they have the legal authority to do so. The reality is that if enough people make their voice heard and let Magnum know that what’s going on stinks, Magnum will understand that it’s in their self interest to sell Ben and Jerry’s to a group of socially aligned investors who actually support the values and progressive activism. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD to #FreeBenandJerrys Go to Magnum’s accounts on social and comment on their posts to let them know you want a #FreeBenandJerrys Then go to to take further action. SHARE THIS POST! Tell your friends and family! #freebenandjerrys
