We ready to go?

Take it away whenever you're ready.

Let's get into it.

Ben and Jerry's is back with Into the Mix, a podcast about joy and justice, produced with Vox Creative.

I'm Ashley C. Ford, and this year, we're diving deep into the pressing issues we're facing today,

like voting rights, dignity for migrant farm workers, and reform of the criminal legal system,

and introducing you to everyday people directly impacted by these issues.

Typically, I just tell folks that I'm just the ordinary guy that was fortunate enough to be

in positions to do extraordinary things during extraordinary moments.

People like Desmond Mead, who worked tirelessly to bring about the largest expansion of voting rights in America in 50 years.

We'll meet migrant farm workers in rural Vermont, coming together to demand better wages and safer working conditions. And Michael Thompson.

Telling Miko is here.

Hey, hey, Miko.

Who spent decades in prison for a nonviolentviolent marijuana charge and is finally home reconnecting with his community.

There he is, baby.

All of them ordinary people, whose lived experiences at the heart of these issues, go far beyond what you read in the headlines.

Their struggle, their success, their joy, and their hope,

for their communities, for themselves, for all of us.

Into the Mix, Season 2.

Join in and listen beginning February 22nd.
