In a daring Fourth of July statement, Ben & Jerry’s has taken to social media to urge the United States to return what they refer to as “stolen Indigenous land.”
The ice cream company’s Independence Day post on Twitter stirred a divisive response among its followers, as they tweeted, “The United States was founded on stolen indigenous land. This Fourth of July, let’s commit to returning it.”
In a parallel message displayed on their website, Ben & Jerry’s contended that the festivities and celebrations associated with July 4 can often overshadow a fundamental truth concerning the nation’s origins.
