I'm planning on taking a bus to a pro-Palestine protest in DC. What should I bring? (hexbear.net)

I've never done this, so I'm not really sure what to expect. I won't know anyone but it's organized by my local PSL chapter so I assume they will be welcoming. Can anyone give any advice?

Bring some water bottles with flip caps for drinking and maybe for washing out your eyes (the kind you can spray water out of in a jet). Sunglasses and some n95 or KN95 masks. Cash for food. And lots of snacks like cliff bars, etc.

Also don't get kettled.

Bring several varying warmth layers of nondescript clothes to wear, avoiding logos. And shoes that are comfortable for wearing all day like hiking boots, plus wool socks. And gloves if it will be cold.
