Dragging the company into a slew of political activism creates a toxic work environment. When people take up the mantle of speaking for all of the employees when they, in fact, don't, they end up silencing and intimidating people who disagree with them because they want to get along with their coworkers.

If you think climate change is a ticking time-bomb and needs drastic action, great, go to a climate rally in your free time and protest for more environmental laws. Some of your coworkers disagree with you, they just don't say anything because they want a good working relationship with you.
