After the horrific killing of George Floyd, numerous brands felt compelled to make public-facing statements of support for the Black Lives Matter movement. Many floundered, however, at expressing their commitment to the cause and steps to move forward.
Ben & Jerry’s rose above the rest and their activism was widely lauded by the Black community. Their public statement featured the tagline, “We must dismantle white supremacy. Silence is not an option.” It went on to share their company history of public support for the Black Lives Matter movement since 2016 and issued four clear calls for action that showed they had done their homework on the issue of racial justice.
