Hi John, 

Ben and Jerry’s is chaining baby cows outside in below-freezing temperatures. DxE investigated a dozen Ben and Jerry’s farms in Vermont and found shivering babies with no food or water and piles of dead mother cows and their calves. Now, we’re protesting the company (including a rooftop-disruption earlier today) and asking our government to stop subsidizing the dairy industry and to just #LetDairyDie already. 

Add your name to our open letter asking Bernie Sanders to stop propping up the dairy industry 

Ben Cohen, who is a co-founder of Ben and Jerry’s, is also a co-chair on Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign. Bernie has a long history of supporting the dairy industry, including personally writing an amendment to give the industry $350 million from the government. We’re calling on Senator Sanders to live up to his values and to embrace a more humane and sustainable future for all. 

After all, dairy milk is dying. Plant-based milk sales now make up 13% of all milk sales in the US. The public is moving away from the cruelty of dairy, but our government is holding on and propping up the industry. That’s why we need to reach our political leaders -- and at DxE, we have big plans. Stay tuned and please sign your name onto the letter.  

Thank you!
