If you are not going to fork and maintain the repos yourself encoraging others not to use open source is a weird group control method that doesn't feel right. Remember the code is open and apolitical.

Even thought I disagree with the group who signed the document I will still use whatever they maintain if it makes sense for my project.

Sure, we all make choices and have our own values. We all prioritize differently. I don't think it's unreasonable for them to ask you not to use a library, and it's not unreasonable for you to politely decline their request.
