I think at this point the biggest thing we can do is just to educate people. Those who get their news only from the corporate media tend to be either severely misinformed, or still in the dark about the movement (this incident in particular has been avoided like the plague in the mainstream media).
You could also check to see if there are any events or occupiers in your area. I've been marching with Occupy Denver every weekend, and while it certainly isn't as big or high profile as some others, it does have everyone around town talking about it. The media would like to frame the protesters as lazy hippies, but it becomes more difficult to convince people when they've seen first-hand that they are actually from all segments of society.
