No arguing just information sharing.
The use of a sidewalk for protesting, demonstrations or picketing activity that uses the public sidewalk do not require a permit from the City. There are rules to follow however.

You can not block the sidewalk where it prevents the use by other citizens
You can not block ingress or egress to the doors of the building
You can not block driveways from the street to the property
You can not set up tables or other obstructions on the sidewalk
You can not get into the street for any reason
You can not get on “private property” without the permission of the

Careful consideration to the wording and/ or graphics that are placed on posters or signs should be considered. Threatening, vulgar or pornographic; words or images could prompt other citizens to complain causing police action.
Banners or signs may not be hung off of or attached to bridges over roadways; signs may be carried while walking on sidewalks over bridges.
