The Adobe building is not rectangular.  The entryway is set back; even 
though the area in front of it is paved contiguously with the sidewalk, it 
is most likely private property.  Hanging a banner on the statue or 
otherwise interfering with it could well be used as grounds for a vandalism 
arrest - charges probably wouldn't be brought, but it would be sufficient 
to break up the protest.  I'd stick with hand-held signs.
