Hi Steve,
I can't make the protest but Austin Against War (AAW) is a legit, non-faith
based group. Avoid straying onto the road/bridge and stay on the sidewalks
which is covered by the permit. Things got a little rowdy last year when
the police decided to pick on folks who, either by choice or surge of the
crowd, got onto the road.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Wilson
