Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream have announced they are an ally of #Occupy.

They are planning a campaign against corporate donations in politics called, "Get the Dough (Cookie Dough) Out" of Politics.

They plan the beginning of this campaign in 2012 and recognize the need for an Constitutional Amendment to completely end the idea that a corporation is a person.

They have changed their corporate structure to reflect these values before this announcement and have spent time with the #Occupy movement to know there are wonderful people affiliated with it.

This is a major accomplishment for #Occupy and their success is gaining ground on venues the longer they continue.  The Co-Founders of Ben and Jerry's spent time at the encampments scooping ice cream to the protesters.   They stated it was then they were able to come to understand the people involved, their purpose, their vision and mission.  The encampments have been a vital link to growing a concensus for the movement.  It brought 'community' to the reality.
