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?

This is pretty dramatic advice, and probably important if you are going hard. But most protests (at least for now) are pretty tame - carrying signs, chanting slogans, not being arrested. For good or bad, most protests are pretty positive experiences and not scary. It's nice to be around people who think the same way, and to express yourself without having to edit yourself.
