Clashes between rival demonstrators or police and protesters are possible; vandalism may also occur.

Additionally, some schools and religious centers may close or limit the hours they are open; extra deployments of police or private security are possible near such locations.

Exercise heightened vigilance near demonstrations. Allow additional time for journeys in affected areas. Heed all official directives. Leave the area at the first sign of a security disturbance.
