I want to tell you about the book I wrote

I'm Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream! 

Dear fellow MoveOn member, 

I'm Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream! 

I'm writing to you today because MoveOn is offering 50 signed copies of my book about police brutality and how rogue cops escape accountability—"Above the Law"—to MoveOn members like you, all for free!

All you have to do is chip in any amount to MoveOn, and you'll be entered into a contest to win a signed copy of my book. 

And guess what else? If you're selected, you'll also receive a free pint of ice cream!

Making a gift to MoveOn today is a fun way to support a grassroots group with a terrific cause while also getting a chance to win a free book on an important topic that you can read as you enjoy some delicious free ice cream.

So, what do you say? Will you chip in $3 today?

Here are some of the heart-wrenching stories you'll read about in my book.

A police officer kills 12-year-old Tamir Rice. It's caught on video. The officer gets off. 

A police officer strangles Eric Garner for selling cigarettes. It's caught on video. The officer gets off.

A police officer shoots Philando Castile in his car. It's livestreamed. The officer gets off.

Why? Because of the legal doctrine called "qualified immunity," which Reuters has called "a nearly failsafe tool to let police brutality go unpunished and deny victims their constitutional rights."¹

"Above the Law" provides the history of qualified immunity, explains its heartbreaking consequences, and argues that qualified immunity is unjust and must be seriously reformed or abolished altogether. 

Make a donation of $3, or any amount, and you'll be entered into a chance to win a free signed copy of my book (and a free pint of ice cream).

Thanks for all you do.
