“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.

The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.

      I don't see anything about pickup trucks in their website. Going over the website, their praxis starts to make a lot more sense. It seems like this group originated in the UK. Their American English pamphlet, in contrast to the "just English" version, still manages to have British spelling in it. I guess SUV's have a different customer base in the UK because all the people I know who own SUV's are working class lol. Plus, the UK has functional public transit, so there's less excuses to own an SUV.

      I think this is just a classic example of praxis that would work in one country not working in another country.
