Editing Attendee Should I Attend In Person (section)

=== No Protest is Perfect ===
"Activist time" is a real thing. A lot of protests even from well established groups aren't going to start at the exact minute that they're scheduled. That doesn't mean we have to plan on showing up late, but it means we'll likely have some times where we can to get to know and talk to other people at the protest, bond and make potential new friends before it starts.

It also gives you a chance to scope out the crowd. If you walk into a punk rock show you can feel the vibe difference from a Coldplay concert. Protests are voluntary on your part so if you show up and the vibe feels real off to you it's always an option to decide that's not the right protest for you. Which means even if you're not 100% sure about a protest you see posted online you can still always go and then decide that maybe it's not the right fit.
