These types of activists try to tie all these issues together using a lot of mental gymnastics, to try and build a coalition or to leverage the motivation behind one cause (like climate) to support another cause (like unionization). It's illogical, but it is a strategy commonly used because it is effective, even if disingenuous.

I disagree that it works. Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter are two movements that lost most of their power and presence due to muddling their core message.

Intersectionality is a theoretical framework for understanding how aspects of one's social and political identities (gender, race, class, sexuality, ability, etc.) might combine to create unique modes of discrimination. It aims to broaden the agenda of the first waves of feminism, which largely focused on the experiences of white, middle-class women.
