How do we keep moving the OWS movement?

Courage, Ingenuity, Kindness, Fairness, Hope.... virtues I associate with the amazing (oh yeah, plus amazing) phenomenon of  Occupy Wall Street  here in NYC.

At the "Political Action Table" in the well-renamed Liberty Square, I've talked to scores of really diverse people over the past month. Like me, they are awed by the "occupiers" and OWS efforts.

"Good luck to you!" they say (even though I'm just a part-timer there). They seem really happy when I say, "Oh no, good luck to US!"

Here's the thing - a concern that Jimmy Higgins highlights in his fine post (thanks Jeanne Heifetz for sharing): All of us 99%-ers need to claim our part in OWS and build this movement - even if we don't sleep in a park.
