Some background on what this movement is would be helpful. The sidebar on the community is not helpful either.

Yeah, a short explanatory paragraph at the top of the instance sidebar and this community sidebar would be very helpful. Maybe something like this, just off the top of my head:

50501.chat is home of the 50501 movement on Lemmy. Get involved, find a protest, and help stop the US's slide into authoritarianism!

I have often found this to be an issue with grassroots political organizing. Lots of calls to action without any context regarding the goal(s) or why people should care enough to join.
