[MO] Is holding a sign at City Hall considered protected free speech?
Legally speaking, you should be fine as long as you’re not disruptive or blocking access. Public space generally allows free speech (Mo. Const. art. I, § 8). Avoid slurs or harassing content (RSMo § 565.090).

Is this related to a proceeding at City Hall?
No. I just want to stand off to the side of the steps—peaceful, not loud, not blocking anyone. Is it protected free speech?
