Meeting and activity demands from these groups have overshadowed what was known through Occupy Detroit. Many of those regularly rallying learned more about the city and are contributing with both long-term and current issues - including Eviction Defense, Water justice, and Tar Sands Resistance.

OSA garnered a mutual respect and rapport with City, Park Police and District City Council member Bernal from the beginning of Occupation. On December 13, 2011 City Park Police gave notice of Violation of City Code and ordered OSA to vacate the Main Gazebo by December 17, 2011. Planned renovation of Hemisfair Park and preparations for the New Year's Eve celebration were to begin December 19, 2011. Occupier's were allowed to temporarily move to the South Gazebo, their secondary encampment used during Major Events previously booked by the City, until December 31, 2011. Under cover of night on December 27, 2011 Occupy San Antonio moved to the East side of the park at the base of the Tower of the Americas and Visitors Center. Public Bathrooms were closed and electricity was cut off until complaints by tourist's. Park Police began 24-hour surveillance and taped off all buildings and areas used by OSA during occupation. Police began arresting Occupier's crossing the taped areas for trespassing. OSA no longer occupies the Park full-time, but continues to claim the Park and holds GA's and other events at the Park.
