Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, have organized a coalition of like-minded businesses to protest a Supreme Court ruling that struck down limits on corporate campaign spending in candidate elections.

“Business for Democracy” will stage its first-ever event on the one-year anniversary of the court’s decision in Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Commission. The group opposes the controversial ruling, which allows companies to spend money from their general treasuries on political activities and rolled back a ban in the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform that set limits on when the money could be spent.

Members of “Business for Democracy” believe “the decision is inconsistent with the basic ideal of ‘government of the people, by the people, for the people,'” according to a release touting its creation. The coalition also supports a last-ditch push by the group Public Citizen to pass a constitutional amendment that seeks to restore some of the limits on corporate campaign contributions that were waived by the Citizens United decision.

“Business for Democracy” includes other politically involved companies, including Patagonia, Stonyfield Farms and Honest Tea.
