"Crisis" is branding, it's the same as most causes recently, everyone wants the world to drop everything and focus on their cause, so they adopt increasing urgent rhetoric. Not saying it shouldn't be a priority, but there are other priorities too, and labeling everything a crisis or emergency just makes people tune out.
