you do not need a phone at a protest. and do not buy a burner phone either, because even if you pay with cash, they can track you. there are a few hackers that have gotten caught this way. every phone sold has the location it was sold, and when, recorded. at that point, it's trivial for law enforcement to ask for camera footage that shows who bought the phone.
There's layers of security but you can also buy a burner online if this is a concern for you. But don't bring your phone, and don't expect to keep anything that isn't uploaded automatically on mobile data
