Comment on How to effectively protest outside my House representative's office

Get a folding table and print a hundred pamphlets. Make sure they have a call to action on them. It can be a representative’s email address, a link to join a local org, or just the word “vote”.
Make signs so people can tell who you are at a glance. Come up with a catchy name for your movement.
Look up the protest laws in New York. Try to stay on public property or on private property where you’ve been allowed. Be polite to the cops. Don’t give them a reason to think you’re performing violent speech.

Thanks for this advice! Other comments are helpful for long term movement building but I want to know what can be effective immediately. I am looking at buying a printer because I don’t have an easy way to print any material.

Office supply shops and universities often have printing services available to the public.
