Migrant Justice activists protested outside Ben & Jerry’s stores in 16 cities. On International Workers’ Day 2015, speakers at a rally outside Ben & Jerry’s Vermont headquarters described working conditions in the company’s supply chain. Migrant Justice activists went on tour again, partnering with student groups to protest at ice cream shops and college campuses. When the Ben & Jerry’s CEO, Jostein Solheim, spoke at Stanford, students chanted: “Hey, Ben & Jerry’s, can I get some Milk with Dignity in my Cherry Garcia?”Solheim was conciliatory. On 30 June 2017, Migrant Justice won the release of activists arrested at the Ben & Jerry’s protest.
