There are going to be a lot of changes in the coming months. I wouldn't worry too much about informing the police on your rights to carry. They're either aware and blatantly lying, or they don't know and don't care.
If you're going to plan something, just treat it like any other community service event. Ask the relevant questions of the relevant people, nothing more. (e.g. "Is there any reason I can't go to the beach and pick up trash?", "Do I need a permit to pick up trash on the beach?", etc)
Why do we have to announce to the powers that be that we're doing something perfectly ordinary and legal? Should it matter that we're carrying a gun on our hips?
Of course, some audio recorders and video cameras wouldn't hurt...
