If you are going to vend at protest sites/march, and stay on the move; or if you intend to set up a stand at times square and catch some tourist biz too.

with everything else that will be going on I wouldn't worry too much about getting caught in some NYPD quality of life sweep. Besides, I imagine with buttons you can be quite mobile. The worst thats likely to happen is you'll get told to "move along"...fold up quick and do so.

bottom line, don't sweat it, just use common sense.
