Although Cohen’s formerly small Vermont creamery was sold to multinational conglomerate Unilever in 2000, Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors has been vocally supportive of the Occupy movement. From a press release sent out in early October:

Ben and partner Jerry have also served free ice cream to Occupy protestors in D.C. and in NYC’s Zucotti Park.
