The Ben & Jerry’s Foundation says it will shut down at the end of the year after its corporate parent cut off funding and evicted its three staffers Wednesday. The move leaves $600,000 a year in grants to Vermont organizations, and 40 years of the ice cream brand’s progressive mission, hanging on a judge’s future ruling. “This is the other foot dropping in terms of the way Magnum is trying to destroy the social values of Ben & Jerry’s,” said Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s Homemade, in an interview Wednesday. #freebenandjerrys

Sign up at ResistingCriminalization.eve… for our session to share information about the arrests going on due to ramped-up policing associated with the FIFA World Cup all around the nation. Yes, it's bad, but we plan to create art, raise our voices safely, make posters, and commune.

Representatives from 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁, 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗨𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 @nj_rua , and 𝗦𝗲𝘅 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝘀 @sweet_atx presented data and recommendations on 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨.𝗦. Afterwards, we launched a free digital magazine, 𝘽𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙙, as a companion to our two 𝗨𝗣𝗥 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 submitted in 2025.

This magazine features art and writing from those too often excluded from human rights conversations: trans people, migrants, people of color, disabled people, and disenfranchised workers.

New Jersey still doesn’t have a heat standard for workers. We need @SenPresScutari @SpeakerCoughlin to protect workers from heat and ICE with the #ImmigrantTrustAct and Heat Standard Bill!
The heat and humidity continues through Wednesday when it will also peak. Many places will have feel like (heat index) values above 100 degrees. Be careful if spending time outside. A significant cool down arrives on Friday!! #pawx #njwx #dewx #mdwx
