Literally find a payphone, pick it up, call 911 and say there’s a group of dangerous looking masked individuals at (name of location), and I’m scared that it’s not safe here.
Then immediately drop the phone and walk away. It seems rude but if you hang up or stop responding the correct action on the 911 operators side is to expect the worst and literally send everyone to that location, lights and sirens.
The chance of a payphone being handy in the middle of a demonstration is pretty small. If you have to run a half mile to find a pay phone, then the strategy starts to break down.
However, if you want to try this, maybe The Payphone Project can help you locate the nearest phone. According to the listing for my hometown, it’s likely a campground or cheap hotel.
This is actually the right move.
