I wouldn't call it a protest (although I guess it could be). Its probably more likely to be people that just need more space for a garden.

If there is a vacant lot next to you, go for it. Its probably best for the community if somebody is maintaining some of the lot. There may be some spaces that are better left untouched, such as by busy roads, or other places the soil may be toxic.
