1. Gather important contact information from everyone involved and stay in touch before, during and after the event.
2. Develop a plan to peacefully prevent a police presence from disrupting the activities of your event.
3. Ensure that any laws you intend to break are actual laws — it may be prudent to research ahead of time if any ordinances apply to your event specifically or have relevance across various gatherings in your jurisdiction, regardless of size or scale.
4. Ensure there is enough room for anticipated crowds and sufficient food/drinks available so as not overwhelm the surrounding community with too much foot traffic, etcetera (or create another purpose than originally intended).

Prepare for any potential trouble by studying up on the local laws and regulations regarding events of that nature. In advance, create a detailed plan outlining safety protocols and communicate this plan to all attending guests. Make sure to purchase adequate insurance and have ample security personnel available at all times during the event. Be mindful of your message, as some messages may not be well-received by local government bodies. Finally, if necessary, find out about legally approved means to peacefully assemble and protest in your area should any objections be raised.
