It is important to note that both Cohen and Greenfield are Jews that are in direct opposition to the occupation and settlement of the West Bank, policies that Israeli governments have pursued unabated in contravention to every international protocol and legal system.
Hi folks. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield here, but you probably just know us as Ben & Jerry.
I (Ben) have done an [AMA before] (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1gzhuj/im_ben_cohen_ben_jerrys_cofounder_and_head/), but I'm bringing Jerry along for the ride. Victoria's helping us out via phone today. A little bit about us:
Ben: So, first things first, my favorite flavor is Cherry Garcia. Now that that is out of the way, I am head stamper at the Stamp Stampede and am getting ready to walk across New Hampshire, from Dixville Notch to Nashua as part of the NH Rebellion, which is a nonpartisan movement to put the issue of money in politics at the center of the 2016 presidential primary.
Jerry says: My favorite flavor is Americone Dream. I am on the board of trustees for the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation and I spent a lot time over the last year supporting movement to win mandatory GMO labeling both here in Vermont as well as Oregon and nationally. I'm also a mad money stamper.
We're here because January 21st is the 5th anniversary of Citizens United, which was a Supreme Court ruling that gave corporations the ability to spend limitless sums of money to influence our elections.
We hope you join us in asking for a Constitutional Amendment that will keep corporate money out of our elections. Learn more here.
With that out of the way - AUA!

I just want to add our thanks to all the people at reddit who are having some fun with us, and come visit us in Vermont!

Or even better - in real life! And don't forget to go to http://www.stampstampede.org/ - get yourself a stamp and you get free ice cream for the next hour!
Ben and I (the people, not the corporation!) are still truckin' away to get Bernie elected President, going where we can when we can. I just wanted to swing by while I'm out here in Iowa to let you know about our little Etsy store.
#https://www.etsy.com/shop/LightedBernieSigns
Some of you wanted to join in on our Bernie Light Brigades, but you just haven't had the time or resources to get a sign out there. That's why we put up this little shop! Each 12”x18” window/lawn sign comes with everything you need to get glowing, and we've got options for both plug-in and battery-powered models. We're selling everything at cost because we just want people to get Bernie's name out there. Prices are $8.05 for a plug-in sign and $11.25 for a battery powered sign, each before shipping. Now, I will say this, we were hoping this would take off, and I'm so glad that we've already been flooded with orders. If you are considering a sign, I'd ask you to strongly consider ordering a cut-your-own-holes version. The holes are pre-marked for very easy drilling or cutting, and you will receive your package much more quickly. We don't have much more time before New Hampshire, and even less time before Iowa, so hurry on over and let us help you out!
Thanks for all the hard work you've done so far, and Iowans, don't forget to get out there on Monday and vote for our next president, Bernie Sanders!

As many of you know, Ben and I are huge supporters of Bernie Sanders. That's the reason we started working with /u/Vermonty_Python to make this Light Brigade project come to fruition! But just as importantly, we're into it because it is FUN! It's a fun way to get involved in the political process. It's a fun way to make your voice heard, and it's especially fun for people who aren't comfortable doing the other types of political activism that you see during the campaign season. With the Light Brigade, you get to meet people, think outside the box, and turn yourself into a glowing, walking, talking billboard for a candidate you love.
We really want to see the project succeed. Which is why I'm volunteering to join a team and pitch in myself! I'll be in Austin, Texas on Friday the 18th, and although I won't be around to help assemble a sign, I would absolutely love to meet folks from the area who are willing to come out and support Bernie with a sign. In fact, if someone will make a sign, I'll even pay for materials myself! Please check in with our esteemed moderator to confirm.
So. I'm calling on YOU to join the Bernie Light Brigade. Follow this link, type in your email, await confirmation, and join your team!
Good luck to you all, and thank you for working so hard for our next President, Bernie Sanders!
