    Unfortunate timing to call for attention on the same day that the media and honestly most of the planet will focus on London for the late Queen's funerals.

    It will at least be once the funerals have finished, but still not an ideal time.

    I feel like only something like the ACT UP protests/etc decades ago on AIDS are going to get anyone's attention to solve this mess.

    EDIT: I have no idea why the link includes a reference to millions missing. Probably used a template from an old email announcement and forgot to change it. I doubled checked and this link does go to the announcement about looking for board members.
