Forum Post: This is a crucial moment for the movement. We all need to step it up a notch, unify and solidify the occupations. We need more people occupying. Now is the time to push.

Gee, that's a real specific and unambiguous call to action, Right, gotcha, push.
There are many ways to act. Each occupation will have its own priorities. Individuals within the occupations may have opinions on what direct actions to take. But ultimately the General Assembly makes the call.
That said, here's what I hope the General Assembly of DC eventually votes on once the numbers swell. http://occupywallst.org/forum/proposed-list-of-demands-please-help-editadd-so-th/ . This would be the first wave of a long series of actions. This Inst wave is focused on forcing Congress to reign in Wall Street and other corporate abuses. Before any of you critics disparage this, read everything at this link including the introduction "OUR TURN". http://occupywallst.org/forum/our-turn/
First order of business though is to grow the movement by the 99% getting to know what things they have in common so they can make decisions from a position of power rather than demands from a position of weakness. It's all about the 99% realizing they have an enormous amount in common and wield the power if they're unified. It's all about America and the world waking up to realize how absurd it is that the 1% has ruled over and exploited the 99% for so long. Those days are over, we are rising up.
