Editing Attendee Should I Attend In Person (section)

=== Asking the Organizers Questions ===
You can reach out to organizers with questions you may have about the protest and then share those answers so that others don't have to ask. Do they have a safety/de-escalation team or at least a plan? Do they have a plan at all aside from "Let's meetup here"? Plans don't have to be perfect but without plans it's a lot easier for things to go wrong.

You may also reach out to related organizations you know and see if they know anything about the tone and organization of the protest. They may have heard things through the grapevine that hadn't been stated somewhere before. They may support the protest but not have be able to co-organize it or post about it. A good organizer is going to have questions they know to ask when another activist mentions or requests their support of a protest. So they may have 3rd hand information about the groups planning, experience, safety, goals, and tone.
