You can take a look at the meshtastic project - https//www.meshtastic.org - people have made some pretty wild solutions, it's pretty cheap to build too.
It's like $20 for cheap devices that talk to your phone via bluetooth. They have standalone devices too to fix that potential vulnerability.
I'm messing around with a few rn. Heltec V3s and TBeam Supremes.
I've got an order pending while I decide which setup I want to play with first - but I have a feeling I'm just going to go with one portable and one to leave in the office, and go from there.
Regardless of it's potential use for protests, it's a fun project!
