Demonstrators camped out overnight for the first time Tuesday. Protestors plan to camp out in shifts for the next 24 days.
A small group of protestors holding signs started gatheriing gathered in the plaza at noon Monday.
The group obtained a city permit that allows them to camp out overnight, and overrides the park's curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Demonstrators said they chose San Jacinto Plaza because it is right across the street from some major corporate banks.
