Ben & Jerry's issued a call to action in a letter posted on its website Friday and informed readers why this country needs to make sure that black lives matter.
The company's tweet was retweeted nearly 40,000 times and liked more than 53,000 times.
"They matter because they are children, brothers, sisters, mothers, and fathers," the statement says.
"They matter because the injustices they face steal from all of us - white people and people of color alike.
They steal our very humanity."
