People are vowing to boycott Ben & Jerry's ice cream after the company marked Canada Day by tweeting about "our home on stolen land."

On Saturday, the iconic American ice cream maker tweeted out a call to action, linking to an online petition, urging Parliament "to disband C-IRG today!"

"Another day to talk about #LandBack and how we can support communities defending their land. Take action this Canada Day," the company tweeted with a link to a form.

The form is a pre-worded letter to the federal government demanding the disbandment of RCMP's controversial Community-Industry Response Group (C-IRG). The task force has been criticized over its tactics and has been accused of violations of human rights, civil liberties and racist and violent attacks on Indigenous Peoples, journalists and protesters in British Columbia.

"British Columbia’s use of a police force to protect pipelines and logging projects, and suppress free speech represents a profound failure to deal with the climate emergency and protect Indigenous rights," reads the petition letter on the ice cream company's website. "I am joining many others who are calling for this new policing unit to be disbanded."

Some social media users vowed to boycott Ben & Jerry's for "politicizing ice cream."

"I prefer non-political ice cream, so I’ll take a hard pass on Ben & Jerry’s," reads a comment.
