Global Occupation - What should be done next?



“Taking a cue from the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, protesters across the world took to the streets Saturday to demonstrate against the banks and what they say is corporate greed. Organizers of the global protests said there would be demonstrations in 951 cities in 82 countries.”

Occupy Madrid, which first inspired the OWS protests, had 300,000 attendees. Internationally, London, Toronto, Sydney, Rome and others held camp-outs in support. This is in addition to the thousands of participants at each of the 10 major Occupy protest sites across the US many more elsewhere. What does the level of national and global support mean for OWS? Now that there is national and international support, what should OWS do next to create political change?
