I am stunned at @benandjerrys post about Land Back and returning the Black Hills. Usually even the most “progressive” brands will only offer lukewarm land acknowledgments and stop there. Seeing a company this big tell the real truth using this language evokes so many emotions.
@Biaggi4NY Why would you forgive that? You don't have to forgive everyone that wronged you (and the whole country), you just have to fight against injustice.
NYers & council members fought tirelessly to claw back $ from @NYCMayor for libraries, childcare, housing, senior meals, & CUNY. But we know this final FY24 budget is not enough for our communities. We urge CMs to vote NO. Our statement. #CareNotCuts

🚨URGENT ORGANIZING ASK🚨
