Ben & Jerry’s isn’t just selling ice cream. They’re funding a war on your local police.
Ben & Jerry’s has spent years positioning itself as America’s most politically activist ice cream brand.
But their campaign against law enforcement goes far beyond social media posts and flavor names.
Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield — the founders of Ben & Jerry’s, now owned by Unilever — have actively campaigned to eliminate qualified immunity for police officers. Qualified immunity is the legal protection that shields officers from personal financial ruin when they make split-second decisions in dangerous situations. Eliminating it wouldn’t just reform policing — it would expose individual officers to devastating personal lawsuits, forcing them to pay judgments out of their own bank accounts and personal assets.
Their goal is explicit: make policing so financially dangerous for individual officers that the profession becomes untenable.
Ben & Jerry’s has also been a vocal supporter of the defund the police movement, donating to and publicly endorsing organizations that advocate stripping funding from law enforcement departments across America. The company has used its brand platform to push these positions on millions of consumers — many of whom had no idea their ice cream purchase was funding an anti-police agenda.
This isn’t a company that stumbled into controversy. Ben & Jerry’s deliberately, repeatedly, and proudly uses its corporate platform to attack the men and women who protect American communities every day.
The officers this campaign targets are your neighbors, your family, your community.
Qualified immunity exists because policing is dangerous and complex. Officers make life-or-death decisions in seconds. Without protection from personal financial ruin, recruiting and retaining good officers becomes nearly impossible — and the communities that suffer most when police departments collapse are the ones that need protection the most.
Ben & Jerry’s knows this. They don’t care. They have chosen to use a beloved American brand — one built on family, fun, and community — to fund a campaign that puts individual police officers and their families at financial risk.
Every pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream purchased helps fund this agenda. Ben & Jerry’s parent company Unilever generates billions in revenue annually. They need to hear from the Americans who disagree with how that money is being used.
