Don’t Let Magnum Destroy Ben & Jerry’s
CEO, Chairman and Board of Directors a Magnum
Along with great ice cream, Ben & Jerry’s was built to be an activist campaigner for justice – from racial equity to climate action to human rights.
The activism has stayed strong because of Ben & Jerry’s Independent Board of Directors, which has legal authority for that social mission.
But B&J’s new owner, The Magnum Corporation, will not tolerate “controversial” stands. So it is using heavy-handed tactics to dismantle the Independent Board.

You are destroying the heart and soul of Ben & Jerry’s. Since you don’t support its progressive social activism, sell the company to someone who does – investors who are ready to bet on a business model that has worked for the last half century.
