in case it gets ugly. If there is violence, grab him and leave the area quickly (good advice for all peaceful protestors, isolate the violent wack jobs).
Peaceful protest always carries some risk, an make sure he knows about it. GOP brownshirts and cops who don't particularly want to be babysitting a bunch of marchers will try to start trouble. Most people will be fine, but there is a chance they won't be.
I think that no matter what happens, it will be a wonderful lesson for him. I don't think I'd take any kids under 10 (too easy to get trampled), but a boy of 15 would get more out of it than he'd risk.
