If you do want to join, make sure to wear all black, have a mask, keep your location services off on your way to/at/from the protest No Phones (see reply below), and be able to hide anything the police could use to spot you (like a keffiyeh) when the protest is over. But that’s just my opinion. Considering your families position, not going is completely understandable, plus there are other ways to support the movement if you wanted to besides joining a protest.
No phones, period. Your phone has unique identifiers, and police will actively either scan the area, or impersonate a cell tower to collect that information (stingrays). Cell providers will absolutely comply and provide your identity.
It depends on the circumstances but most of the time you will want grey. If you are in a big bloc who have experience protesting, know police strategy, have a decent (protest experienced) lawyer and police station support lined up, know each other well, and are likely to do things like break police lines and want to make it harder for cops to identify which person that is, its perfect.

All good advice :) I’ve been around for a while and try to practice good opsec anyway.
Don’t wear all black, wear non-descript dark clothes. Cops spot people in all black and send out snatch squads
Really? Most things I’ve read suggest black when they mention non-descript clothing
