I (17M) am likely going protesting for the first time on the 5th. I live in the South Bend (IN) area but will be in Atlanta the day of the protest. What should I know before going?

I agree with most of that. Id just as soon assume the worst and be pleasantly surprised; I don’t expect the US to care much anymore about the distinction between legal and illegal actions when it comes to protest.
Regardless, physical safety comes first.
Completely agree. But I don’t want to give people the impression that if they need to have a phone for whatever reason that they can’t or shouldn’t attend a protest, especially one like this where the point is to get as many people in the street as possible rather than achieving any specifically defined goal.
Leaving the phone at home is definitely the safer option, but I want people to know that they can still attend if they have to have a phone on them.
