Ben & Jerry’s and Colin Kaepernick Unite to Change the Whirled Colin Kaepernick and Ben & Jerry’s have teamed up to create, Change the Whirled. It is a new, non-dairy, ice cream flavor due out in 2021. According to the press release, the flavor, celebrates Kaepernick’s work to confront systemic oppression and to stop police violence against Black and Brown people. Kaepernick’s portion of the proceeds from sales will go to this Know Your Rights foundation. The non-dairy flavor is caramel with fudge chips, graham cracker swirls and chocolate cookie swirls. The ice cream is non-dairy because Colin is vegan. How do you feel about brands like Ben & Jerry’s who use their platform for social activism?
