"It's 2018, do you know where your protest is?"

Excellent advice from [personal profile] watersword on how to prepare for a protest. I really like the idea to be sure to check that you know where your Rapid Response protest is, since MoveOn might crash (along with HALF THE INTERNET, no doubt).

ITA comfortable shoes and clothes are a must. Consider going with a prearranged group for safety in numbers. Maybe ask your local protest group to arrange for a legal observer. -- Any other suggestions?

The National Lawyers Guild has legal support hotlines in many US locations, which you can call if you've been arrested in a demonstration. If there's one for your area and you don't have a lawyer of your own (most of us don't), write that number on your body beforehand, along with other relevant phone numbers you don't have memorized.
