The protesters were actually focusing on the people who fly their private jets into burning man. IIRC Burning man has a private airstrip and celebrities will fly in on the jets, which is environmentally terrible and goes against the ethos of the group.

The protesters were blockading the road calling on BM to ban private jets from the event. As well as a few other demands.
