Talk is cheap
Well, based on that flyer showing their website address, I was able to get find email address, and I sent them a very nice, polite, tactful, non-hate-filled fact-based message, and added a concerned karma-sounding phrase...seriously, I did.
They need to wake up and have a heart.

If you own or rent a typical home, work in the private sector or even government and have a SUV type car or old truck and alike.....
You are "The Man" these idiots hate and blame all their ills on "The Man". Not the all powerful government who can and does make monies out of the thin air! They are taught that the government distributes the monies to "The Man" and he or she distributes it out to make the private sector work. Monies from the government come from the all powerful and great wonderful government.
Just a muse for any newbies here. Your probably considered to be "The Man" .
It's your SUVs today, tomorrow the air being removed from your body is next.

Tires on hundreds of SUVs have been deflated by climate activists who want to make it 'impossible to own a huge polluting 4x4'
Story by rhogg@insider.com (Ryan Hogg) • 5h ago- Climate activists are deflating the tires of SUVs in US cities to make them "impossible" to own.
- Tyre Extinguishers deflated almost 900 SUVs this week and hit 52 in Brooklyn, NY.
- The group has previously hit Pittsburgh and San Francisco as well as many European cities.
Green campaigners are deflating tires on SUVs as part of their campaign to make it "impossible to own a huge polluting 4x4" in an urban area.
Climate activist group Tyre Extinguishers said in a statement that it had deflated nearly 900 SUVs across the world, hitting 4x4s in cities including New York and Amsterdam.
Its members deflated tires on almost 900 polluting SUVs in eight countries on November 28 and 29, according to the statement. "This is the biggest coordinated global action against high-carbon vehicles in history, with many more to come."
The group said it deflated tires on 52 SUVs in the Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights area of New York City this week. It has claimed responsibility for hitting 4x4s in Pittsburgh and San Francisco in the past.
Tyre Extinguishers began its campaign of targeting 4x4s in March, when it said it struck SUVs in 13 cities in the UK.
It calls the vehicles a "climate disaster" that cause air pollution and are more likely to kill pedestrians than cars. The group argued they are nit necessary in an urban area, and worsen climate change in the name of "vanity and conspicuous consumption."
At the time of its first attack spokesperson Marion Walker said: "Governments and politicians have failed to protect us from these massive unnecessary vehicles. SUVs are a climate disaster, they cause air pollution and are dangerous for other road users. Everyone hates them, apart from the people who drive them.
"Politely asking for climate action, clean air and safer streets has failed. It's time for action."
At the end of October, the group said it had "disarmed" 10,000 SUVs since beginning to deflate tires in March.
The action comes as the protest group Just Stop Oil use tactics including climbing onto gantries across freeways, forcing police to halt traffic, and slow-walking along streets in central London to protest against new oil and gas projects.

Maybe not. But in some areas, they may find them floating in a river, pond, etc with their throats cut. Or found in a hog lot, after feeding a herd of hogs. Or, as Brother Nowski pointed out, they could be found in the morning full of 00 Buck pellets. Too Bad, So Sad

“Climate Activists” Slash SUV Tires in NYC, Say Other U.S. Cities Will be Hit Next

"Criminals claiming to be “climate activists” in New York City have begun a campaign of slashing the tires of sport utility vehicles.
It’s a practice that started in the U.K but has now been picked up by American activists who promise that New York City is just the starting point.
Thomas Catenacci reports at Fox News:
Apparently, none of these geniuses have considered that this will simply lead to producing more tires, which probably won’t align with their climate change concerns.
This campaign didn’t materialize out of thin air. Back in April, KATV News in Arkansas reported:
Here’s a recent video report from Channel 4 News in Britain:

This is not activism. It’s a crime, plain and simple."

Are you sure about that?
