In other words, being specific isn't necessarily the point.
At least in the Civil Rights case, they were targeting a specific subset of laws and government policy. The so called "Jim Crow Laws" that more or less existed primarily on a local and state level but even somewhat within the Federal government as well.
That's not to say individuals didn't use the soapbox to push their own agenda aside from that, but the main goal was to get the Federal government to give them protection from laws that targeted their minority, generally in the form of poll taxes and "separate but equal" segregation.
This is something Occupy didn't have, or at least not coherently enough that you could pick it out from among the "It's not fair" screaming. Aside from that, when the federal government is in the pocket of the corporations, there's nobody left to run to. This isn't a case where a few bad actor localities are the majority of the problem, this is nation wide, global even. The UN might be a good place to start, but they're largely toothless and given the problems they tend to focus on, would probably look upon citizens of the US coming to them to complain in a sort of #FirstWorldProblems light.
So on this fine Christmas Eve, reading here many complaints about American society... what would you folks envision as a more desirable end state, specifically? What would make you all feel at peace with yourself and your neighbor?
More relevant, perhaps, what can you do, today, to help bring peace to your neighbors and yourself? Even if only in small ways.
Weird's list is a good start.
I'd push the Health care and Education angles a little harder. They're very much intertwined and there's plenty of places to chip away at from various angles on each of them.
Campaign funding and lobbying reform need to happen bad, probably first. Health Care and Education are our long term investments and should happen as soon as possible. But nothing will happen as long as the government is in the pockets of lobbyists and donors.
I'd add to that list some sort of basic welfare system that's not a broken mess and impossible to navigate and subject to a hundred stipulations which cuts out large chunks of the population from qualifying. This should include, at minimum, housing assistance, food assistance, utility assistance, and transport assistance. A smarter idea might be to wrap this up into a basic income system or negative income tax if only for simplicity sake and on the growing assumption that people do in fact tend to make good choices when you give them the opportunity. Even if we can't get THAT far with things at this moment though, welfare does need reform of some sort if only to equalize the opportunity. It often focuses too much on specific demographics.
Finally, and probably least likely is some sort of heavy tax on wealth beyond a certain point that's not being used in some public economic manner. If you've got 100 million but it's flowing through a business, creating trade and jobs, I have less of a problem there than if you have 100 million in land as an "investment" just sitting unused. That sort of thing. Economics is complicated though, and those aren't the only cases that'd need to be thought about. But there needs to be something done about the wealth that flows upwards and gets stuck there in places that's hard to dislodge. Offshore accounts, luxury goods, property. The estate tax was a decent way of helping with that over the long term, but that's getting chipped away.
As for helping neighbors, just do what you can. I'm not in a position to afford economic help to others. But I freely lend an extra hand to people. If that means helping someone move, or clean, fixing a simple plumbing problem here or there, computer issues, easy automotive fixes, even something as simple as baby/pet sitting. You may not be able to give someone $100, but you might have skills that could save them $100 that would otherwise have to come out of their pockets and not necessarily cost you nearly that much. I'm often offered a meal for my help, and most people are willing to reciprocate with a helping hand when they can.
