Tell Unilever: Back off Ben & Jerry's

March 26, 2025 Update:

Over 40 Ben & Jerry's employees, together with co-founder Ben Cohen, held a silent vigil to support their CEO and preserve the company's heart and soul: its social mission.¹

Unilever, Ben & Jerry's parent company, is attempting to bully the company into silence on issues like Palestinian human rights and Trump's unlawful deportations. But Ben & Jerry's is fighting back.

Ben & Jerry’s is suing Unilever to protect its commitment to peace and justice. The corporate giant — owner of brands like Dove, Hellmann’s, and Vaseline — is pressuring the company to stay quiet on Palestine and, now on Trump 2.0.²

This all started with Ben & Jerry's courageous departure from the occupied West Bank in 2021.

Unilever has been leaning on Ben & Jerry's ever since.

Take action with us today. Ben & Jerry's needs our support, from its workers to its founders to its independent board. Let's send Unilever's new CEO, Fernando Fernandez (reportedly hired to hasten the process of depoliticizing the brand), a strong protest message.  

Join us in telling Unilever to back off and let Ben & Jerry's continue supporting human rights for all.
