Ben & Jerry’s has officially debuted their newest Limited Batch Flavor, “Change is Brewing.” The new flavor includes cold brew coffee ice cream paired with marshmallow swirls and the quintessential fudge brownies.

The ice cream highlights three Black-owned businesses by incorporating their products into the new flavor. BLK & Bold is a nationally distributed coffee company, providing the rich coffee base for “Change is Brewing.” Greyston Bakery, a longtime partner of Ben & Jerry’s, is a value-led supplier that follows an “open hiring” policy. The brand adds its fudge brownies to the mix. Laci Jordan, a Black multi-disciplinary artist is behind the imagery on the pint.

With “Change is Brewing,” Ben & Jerry’s continues its efforts as a company that champions racial justice. The ice cream house has joined more than 70 different organizations in supporting The People’s Response Act. Introduced by Congresswoman Cori Bush, the legislation aims to transform the system that has criminalized Black and Brown people nationwide into a place where it provides resources and helps communities of color flourish.

“Change is Brewing” is available in select retail stores across the U.S. Portions of the proceeds are expected to go to grassroots companies that are supporting the social transformation of America.

Leave it to our friends Ben and Jerry to create a brand new ice cream flavor we want in our freezers as soon as possible. Called Change Is Brewing, the frosty dessert features cold brew coffee from BLK & Bold Specialty Beverages, marshmallow swirls, and fudge brownies provided by Greyston Bakery, a company that focuses on inclusive hiring. But that's not all.

In collaboration with Movement For Black Lives, Change Is Brewing was created to support the People's Response Act: a bill that aims to create a public safety agency within the Department of Human Health and Services.

"We must dismantle our public safety system's instinct to criminalize and replace it with an instinct to provide care," reads the act's official website. "The current approach to public safety is not working — for children, for families, and particularly for Black and brown communities that have been devastated by mental health crises, substance use health crises, and criminalization."

As for the pint's artwork, it was designed by artist Laci Jordan, who was asked to think about what an injustice-free world would look like. What she ended up with was a piece that encompasses love, freedom, joy, Black liberation, and a space where one can unapologetically exist without worry.
