PPS just as there's epistemic uncertainty about what's factually right, there's often 'moral uncertainty' about what's morally right:https://concepts.effectivealtruism.org/concepts/moral-uncertainty/ …

EA tilts Left for sure, partly due to low average age, but it has a much wider range of views than I've found in most movements, and is very accepting of ideological diversity.

Anything by Peter Singer on applied ethics. Consequentialists (of my variety) believe you should maximize sentient well-being, and the well-being isn't in our subjective judgments, it's in the experiences of the other sentient beings affected by our actions.

Are their experiences not subjective?

Moral rectitude's unsustainable without a factual basis. The 1st principle of most moral system's personal honesty. Unmoring morality from this causes disaffection, since there's no integrity in being truthful to lies. Social systems built on lies crash when reality catches up.

What matters is whether the facts support that whatever change they are proposing meets their stated moral goals. If someone says that reducing suffering is morally right and then proposes something that produces a net increase in suffering, their intentions are irrelevant.
