Ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s, described by some as the face of ‘woke’ capitalism, has revealed a new flavor in support of Democratic Rep. Cori Bush’s “People’s Response Act,” which calls for a health-centered approach to policing.

The “Change Is Brewing” flavor — comprising cold brew coffee ice cream with marshmallows and fudge brownies — aims to help “transform the nation’s approach to public safety,” the company said in support of the legislation.
