"Fossil fuel pollution and climate disasters are already disrupting millions of lives. We deserve a world beyond fossil fuels: a world in which workers’ rights, community health, and our shared climate come before corporate profits. That’s why we are coming together to ensure Biden becomes the climate president he promised to be before attending the global climate talks this November.
Indigenous people, pipeline fighters, water protectors, young people, scientists, faith leaders, and more are saying enough is enough: it's time to finally place people over fossil fuels.
This October, thousands of people will come to DC to demand that President Biden end the fossil fuel era. He must stop approving fossil fuel projects and declare a climate emergency right now, ahead of the United Nations climate summit in November.
Join our kick off call to learn how to take action, get a ride to the event, and much much more!"

I have seen on more than one occasion where someone openly attacks a project/project member, and I don't know what they expect to accomplish (Twitter/Facebook cred?).
I added support for something simply because I was asked nicely. But being abrasive to a project member is a recipe to get you no where. Blasting it out on Twitter is an easy way to to make sure no one wants to work with you.
But, the fastest way to get something done in FOSS land is to do it yourself.
