Protest at the US Senate
Ben Cohen, the cofounder of Ben & Jerry’s, was arrested alongside six others during a protest at the US Senate. The group interrupted a testimony given by US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to voice their opposition to the ongoing war in Gaza. This action highlights their commitment to advocating for peace and justice in the region.
The protest is part of a larger movement aiming to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Cohen and his fellow activists believe that the US government must take a stronger stance against the violence and support efforts for peace. Their courageous actions at such a high-profile event emphasize the urgency of the situation and the need for political accountability.
