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?

Obviously requires the spoons and capacity to interact with people, but if you have those, then taking supplies and a sign saying you have supplies might be a good role.

And several people commented that for them, having a defined role like that at a protest might help mitigate the overload/overwhelm.
