It's impossible not to be in this kind of all acccepting movement. In addition all protest groups have always been infiltrated. I think they might be surprised at just who is doing the infiltrating but they have known all along that they have "others" among them.
Still they are very aware of the attemps to co-op the movement and seem very confident that it won't happen. They are pretty resourceful.
