Probably dumb question, but… You can’t just delay yours if you’re worried about being mistaken for the other one? Probably safer for your people too in case they think you’re on their turf and decide to make this a battle.

Too late to change, probably. Anyone with a job can’t just swap vacation time on a whim, for example. This isn’t a response to a particular action/event, it’s an annual event.

That’s a plausible take. But maybe it’s really about using this as another mess of gaining more attention for their cause.

They gave them a convenient reason to reach out to media since there’s a newsworthy story now; did any of us have heard about this if they didn’t work to get this message out? Very effective.
