Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, was arrested during a Senate hearing where he protested against government spending priorities that he believes harm poor children in Gaza and the U.S. He criticized Congress for funding military actions while simultaneously reducing Medicaid support for impoverished children. Cohen emphasized the need for humanitarian aid to Gaza and expressed his views via social media after his release from custody. His actions reflect the longstanding political activism associated with Ben & Jerry's brand ethos, highlighting social issues such as healthcare and international aid.
I told Congress they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US. This was the authorities' response.
Congress kills poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs and pays for it by kicking kids off Medicaid in the U.S. They need to let food into Gaza.
