I'm not American, but the other co-plaintiffs seem to be civil rights / human rights organisations who are firmly at the left-wing/progressive end of US politics, some of them probably take the US government to court fairly often. So being seen in this company might identify the WMF a little with that part of the US political spectrum. Equally, the fact that WMF isn't a political organisation and isn't in the habit of suing the US Government probably adds a lot of weight to the campaign!
