Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the ice cream guys, were arrested at the U.S. Capitol during the Democracy Awakening protests this April.

"We’re now living in a moment of revived commitment to real democracy. Several different movements — like the voting rights movement and the movement to kick big money out of politics — are banding together for change, bringing people of all races, genders and backgrounds together to demand transparency and a voice in our government," explained Ben on why he came down to D.C. to get arrested.
