Somehow, it&#8217;s easier to talk about difficult issues over a scoop or two.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Advancement Project National Office is a national, multi-racial civil rights organization that works with local grassroots organizers on racial justice issues. &#8220;Our country needs to invest in services that build up communities rather than those that tear them down,&#8221; said Advancement Project National Office Executive Director <span class=\"xn-person\">Judith Browne\u00a0Dianis<\/span>. &#8220;That means ending a wealth-based pre-trial detention system that locks people up because they are poor, Black or Brown. It means dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline, divesting from criminalizing students and investing in the creation of high-quality education and services. It&#8217;s time to reimagine safety and justice.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the grassroots level, Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s is deploying its Scoop Truck in various states to spark conversations, activate community members, and give away ice cream.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a tactic that has proven effective in growing social movements. In <span class=\"xn-location\">St. Louis<\/span>, the Scoop Truck supported the Close the Workhouse Coalition by attending 27 events, giving out 13,420 scoops, and generating more than 1500 messages to public officials.\u00a0 In Miami, Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s is working with the Power U Center for Social Change in calling on the Miami-Dade County School Board to prioritize funding for mental health and counselors instead of more security and surveillance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Described as cinnamon and chocolate ice creams with gobs of cinnamon bun dough and spicy fudge brownies, Justice ReMix&#8217;d\u00a0is part of Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s multi-year campaign for criminal justice reform. Justice seekers with a sweet tooth can find the audacious new flavor in grocery stores nationwide (MSRP <span class=\"xn-money\">$4<\/span>-6) and in Scoop Shops.
