Today is free cone day, which is an annual celebration of community and the day when all Ben and Jerry's scoop shops open up their doors and scoop free cones to people. 
And uh the free Ben and Jerry's campaign is transforming free cone day into free the cone day. 
Ben & Jerry's has now become owned by the Magnum Corporation who is in the process of destroying the the heart and the soul of Ben & Jerry's. 
They're trying to neuter the the social mission. 
And you know, Jerry and I have come to the conclusion that the only solution is for the Magnum Corporation to sell Ben & Jerry's to a group of socially aligned investors that actually believes in and agrees with and supports the social mission. 
The fate of Ben & Jerry's is in the hands of the public. 
And if they raise their voice, uh, Magnum will be forced to see the light and allow Ben and Jerry's to continue being Ben and Jerry's.
