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?
