    Ben & Jerry's debuts election-themed flavor

    Ben & Jerry's introduced Churn Out the Vote, a limited batch flavor featuring pretzel swirls, fudge chips and ripples of chocolate mousse in a creamy vanilla ice cream. 

    The ice cream is presented in partnership with the company's longtime friends at Black Voters Matter Capacity Building Institute (BVM). Inspired by the delicious optimism surrounding this election, Churn Out the Vote is part of a larger campaign to celebrate and activate young voters, especially young voters of color, to participate in this historically important election and join the growing movement to protect democracy and be a voter.

    Ben & Jerry's partnership with BVM, now in its fourth year, is part of an expansive effort to engage voters on the issues they care about most. In addition to scoop shops, the flavor will soon be available as a limited pint in freezers across the country at an MSRP of $5.99 to 6.49.

    "We couldn't be more pleased to once again join Black Voters Matter in support of their work to ensure that those who will be most impacted by the policies of the next administration vote and that their vote is counted," said Palika Makam, Ben & Jerry's U.S. Activism Manager. "When young people and people of color are voters, we all win."

    From now through Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 5, Ben & Jerry's website will be a one-stop-shop to help fans all become voters. At benjerry.com, people can check their voter registration status, and find information on their polling locations, early voting, and vote by mail options. They can also stop into a scoop shop to taste Churn Out the Vote and have a portion of proceeds donated to Black Voters Matter.
