Protesters: League of the South, joined by affiliate groups the National Socialist Movement, Traditionalist Worker Party, Vanguard America, all sometimes collectively known as the Nationalist Front, all classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as white nationalist and white supremacist groups.
Many of these groups, and specifically organizers and members planning to attend this Saturday, were heavily involved with the "Unite the Right" events in Charlottesville, Virginia, this August that turned deadly.
Counter protesters: The loosely organized anti-Facist protesters commonly known as Antifa, local faith leaders, interfaith and community organizers as well as other anti-racist organizations.
Officials have said they expect more counter-protesters than rally attendees, even up to an 80/20 split for counter.
