GREENWICH — A recently formed group of political activists remains shrouded in mystery, despite its apparent involvement in several high-profile protests on a wide range of topics: wearing masks, vaccinating children and teaching critical race theory.

The group, Greenwich Patriots, would not confirm its involvement, but the group appears to take credit on a crowdfunding page for the “Stand Up Greenwich” signs, which were put up throughout town, and for the “Truth Truck,” which has driven around Greenwich and Stamford bearing slogans such as “Wake Up,” and “Wait for Clinical Trial Results in 2023 Before You Join the Experiment in 2021.”

The site also describes a Flag Day Rally on June 14 at Town Hall, though the Greenwich Police Department said it has received no request for permits to hold an event.

Reached via email, the group provided a statement.

“Greenwich Patriots formed from a shared desire to protect medical freedom for our children, and to protect our children from ideological-driven curriculum,” the statement said. “We value truth, freedom and privacy. We are also aware of the potential for retaliation against those who offer criticism in the current environment, and have offered to help anonymously connect people in the community in order to effect change.”

The group did not respond to a request for more information about its members or its leadership structure.
