Members of the group declined to identify themselves, but in an email to WW said, "we are an ad-hoc committee formed solely to protest this upcoming event. Some of us identify as queer, non-binary, asexual, femme, men, POC, etc. We are your neighbors, we are your co-workers, we are concerned citizens who feel that one does not need to be part of an organization or pre-existing group to speak up and oppose oppression wherever it rears its ugly head."
