Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's rolled out a new flavor that the liberal
company says will aid the "defund the police" movement.

The company debuted the new flavor Monday, saying a portion of the
profits will supplement Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush's $10
billion bill to hire social workers to perform some public safety tasks
previously handled by police.

"Introducing Change is Brewing," the Vermont-based company tweeted. The
"flavor helping to transform the nation's approach to public safety to
one that prioritizes community needs, in collaboration w/
@Mvmnt4BlkLives. Join us in supporting the People's Response Act!"

The flavor is a mix of cold-brew coffee ice cream, marshmallow swirls,
and fudge brownies, the company's website says.

"Grab your spoon & dig into a flavor boldly celebrating safety &
liberation for all," the flavor's description says. "It's time to
divest from systems that criminalize Black communities & invest in a
vision of public safety that allows everyone to breathe free."

??NEW FLAVOR!??

Customers who buy the ice cream online can sign up for email
notifications about Bush's bill to defund the police, join the Movement
for Black Lives, and support the People's Response Act.

"The flavor supports the vision of the world in which every community
is safe, and everyone, including black and brown people, can thrive,"
Ben & Jerry's U.S. Activism Manager Jabari Pall said at a press
conference, the New York Post reported.

The art on the ice cream carton depicts a black woman and the word
"liberation."

"Defunding the police has to happen," Bush said last month. "We need to
defund the police and put that money into social safety nets because
we're trying to save lives."
