While this movement needs to continue at the state level, and grow in a bottom up fashon it also needs a battle cry to focus the energy. I suggest the following as a begining point for what I feel needs to be a unification of this global resistance.

Arrest the 1 % for theft.
Give the peoples money back.
Corporate politics must go.
Elect the ones who will make it so.

With this type of focus the worldwide movement can find its legs and not only invision change but make it so. If you agree, please spead the word and lets get together for change.

Business is an organisation where people play different roles and work together towards common goals. We need to recognize that owners and employees of all levels, managers and workers, are free individuals that partner together in the free enterprise, and are entitled to shares of the enterprise profits. Wages are merely allowances for a general level of life to make it possible for the workers to carry out their duties. The actual work should be compensated with a fair share of collective achievement — a share of profit.
Uneven distribution of power is what impedes individual freedom and corrupts the very notion of freedom. It is incompatible with democracy. Strong progressive income tax must protect us from uneven distribution of power.
We must ensure that every person gets a fair share of the results of that person’s work. For that, we have to recognize that any work takes time and physical effort. If one person honestly works hard for a day, hardly anyone can do ten times more work, but it is physically impossible to do a hundred or a thousand times more work in a day. Progressive income tax must narrow down the gap of money and privilege between jobs. It must establish a high top margin of individual earnings. Maximum earnings limit should depend on minimum wage, and be substantially, but not unreasonably higher. If minimum wage is $30,000 a year, it may be prudent to agree on the maximum income of $300,000 — ten times the minimum.
Taxes other than the income tax, such as sales tax or payroll tax, should be reduced or cancelled.
We must ensure every person’s right not to be forced into any organisation, including not economically forcing free individuals to join business organisations to attain the basic necessities of modern life. Every person is entitled to a free and inalienable lifelong allowance that should cover average rent, food, transportation and communication (such as Internet connection), and should be equal to minimum wage.
No person shall be denied the right to healthcare and no person shall be denied the right to improve oneself through education. Healthcare and education must be free.
Essential social service workers — policemen, firefighters, medics, and teachers — should get the high-end salaries that reflect their vital importance to the society. Throughout their careers their salaries should approach the maximum income.
Government must be fully transparent. A taxpayer must be able to track where every tax dollar is at any time, down to departments, individual people responsible for that dollar, and particular contracts.
Free people can not submit other free people to any form of physical punishment. No person can be subjected to physical punishment, including termination of life.
