You can do a lot very easily. Talk to people and voice support. Find a reason why *you* support OWS, and when someone says they don't even know what those people want, tell them what you want. Write. Ask. Make support for this normal and matter of course rather than a fringe element. You have a powerful voice- you needn't speak louder than anyone else, just be aware what you say when you do. That is all it takes to change the system.
