As I understand it, PauseAI Global aka PauseAI supports protests in most regions, whereas US-based protests are run by PauseAI US which is a separate group of people.
I volunteer as Pause AI software team lead and confirm this is basically correct. Many members and origins in common between the global Pause AI movement and Pause AI US, but some different emphases mostly for good specialism reasons. The US org has Washington connections and more protests focussed on the AI labs themselves. We work closely.
Neither has more than a few paid employees and truly full-time volunteers. As per OP, anyone who agrees activism and public engagement remain a very under-leveraged value-add way to help AI safety has massive opportunity here for impact through time, skill or money.
PauseAI US is a separate entity from PauseAI so I believe it should also be listed.
More separate than e.g. PauseAI Germany? My assumption was that anyone would find their respective local chapters over the general PauseAI page.
