Ben & Jerry's Homemade Holdings Inc., or just Ben & Jerry's, is an American ice cream company (though they also make frozen yogurt, gelato, and sorbet). It was founded in Burlington, Vermont in 1978.
Raising money for progressive causes[edit]
Ben & Jerry's was created by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, two left-wing progressives who have raised money for various left-wing causes and organizations. Cohen and Greenfield themselves are enthusiastic Bernie Bros, and have used their wealth for (among other things), supporting the legalization of same sex marriage, ending child labor (which they found out one of their suppliers was guilty of), and supplying cash for education funding through their support of Common Cause, an organization advocating for increasing education.
