Preparing for the worst
A lot of people are anxious about the future and what may happen, one way to assuage this feeling is to have a plan or several ones “in case of x do z”. Now not everyone will be able to do everything, but most will be able to do quite a few. Some are particularly important for people participating in protest and might become targets.

Medical Alerts - Allergies / chronique illnesses / diabeties / etc..
Pumps / EpiPen / meds (I keep those on hand for others too not just me)
