Empower Mint!
Ben & Jerrys has concocted a new flavor, called Empower Mint, that expresses the Vermont duos politics through peppermint ice cream with fudge brownies and swirls.
This fudge-filled flavor reflects our belief that voting gives everyone a taste of empowerment, & that an election should be more by the people and less buy the people! reads Empower Mints profile on the Ben & Jerrys website. We all deserve an equal serving of democracy.
Huge groups of Americans face incredible barriers to voting, the release says, like voter ID laws that disproportionately keep African-Americans and other minorities from casting their ballots, confusing registration processes, and shortened early voting periods.
The two confectionary geniuses demonstrated their seriousness about these issues last month, when they were among those arrested at the Democracy Awakening protest on the U.S. Capitol.
