Ben & Jerry’s has sued its parent company Unilever accusing it of silencing the ice cream maker from making statements in support of Palestinians in the war in Gaza.

Vermont ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s says it supports a plan to unionize by the workers at a retail shop in the same city where the brand was founded.

Ben & Jerry’s is giving people in San Antonio a reason to smile this Monday — they’re giving away ice cream cones.

Ben & Jerry’s is the latest food company to pivot to pets, sensing opportunity as more Americans acquire furry friends. Three years later, Smucker acquired Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, which makes Nutrish brand pet food.

(CNN) -- Let there be no doubt where Ben & Jerrys stands. The ice cream maker has called on Americans to "dismantle white supremacy" and "grapple with the sins of our past" as nationwide protests against racial injustice stretch into their eighth day. Ben & Jerry's, which also publicly supported the Black Lives Matter movement, called on President Donald Trump to disavow white supremacists and nationalist groups that "overtly support him." Ben & Jerry's has a long history of political activism under founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, who were arrested in 2016 for protesting against money in politics. The company's sale to British-Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever in 2000 has not prevented it from speaking out on issues such as racial injustice, climate change and refugee rights.
