I tried to find ways to mobilize and organize some of my friends in OWS Oakland and SF when I lived in the Bay Area because I had a good number of friends out there taking part, but it just wasn't the right movement for it, seemingly. The people all had a cause, and maybe tangential causes from there, but it was exceedingly broad and fractional. They were all centered around making the financial sector responsible, but that's moving into territory that hasn't been done outside Glass-Steagall. There are so many ways to approach it. The major problem progressives and the left face in mobilizing is that it involves moving forward and doing new things to change, while the right has it easy due to simply moving backwards. Their ideas have already existed for a long time and have been implemented, the left attempts to progress from them.
