Eeeeeh careful when signing up at protests, you run the chance of getting into one of the culty and abusive groups who rely on naive newbies signing up on the spot. Then they take you away from your friends and family and all your money, I wish it didn't happen constantly but I literally just got home from a protest absolutely infested with them.
Which groups?
I was involved for a couple months with a National Labor Federation group. Each branch calls themselves something different. Luckily I googled them and got myself and a friend out before we were fully dragged in. Just google any group you're interested in to see if others are accusing them of being a cult.
Where I live, the socialist alternative aka SALT. They're rather abusive towards their members and are pretty broadly hated by every other group because they co-opt movements and turn any rally into a chance to sell things and make a profit. They're well known for being very manipulative and forceful with university students in particular. I've heard nothing but disgusting stories from the people who got out.
