Ben Cohen is a cofounder of Ben & Jerry's. The business started in 1978 as a homemade-ice-cream parlor in a former gas station on an investment of $8,000. In 1988, Ben & Jerry's was named U.S. Small Business of the Year by President Ronald Reagan. The company also received the Corporate Giving Award from the Council on Economic Priorities, presented by Joanne Woodward at a reception in New York City, for donating 7.5 percent of its pretax income to nonprofit organizations through the Ben & Jerry's Foundation. By 1999, the enterprise had an annual sales volume of over $250 million with 700 employees, and Ben had become a pioneer in the area of socially responsible business. Despite Ben's efforts to keep the company independent, Ben & Jerry's was acquired by Unilever in 2000. Today, Ben is president of Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities and TrueMajority.org. BLSP is a group of 1,000 business leaders working to fund social needs at no additional taxpayer expense by transferring money from outmoded cold war-era military expenditures. TrueMajority.org monitors Congress on issues of social justice, environmental sustainability, and international cooperation. When constituents' voices count, the organization's 500,000 members receive an e-alert. With one click, they send a fax to their congress-people.
