The EA movement is strong on its own, but it also resonates with people in other movements allowing opportunities for overlap, synergy, and shared action. What other movements fit best with EA, even if they are ones that EA doesn't current work much with yet? Why?
Note: Please give one answer per movement, multiple answers per person okay. If someone has already given an answer with a movement you have something to say something about, please say it in a comment on their answer to keep things organized!
Soccer, because there has been a recent trend of professional soccer players giving up portions of their salary to charity. Usually they give it to things like soccer opportunities in the developing world.

Google turns up Juan Mata's Common Goal initiative: 'I am pledging 1% of my salary to Common Goal, a collective fund — run by the award-winning NGO streetfootballworld — that supports football charities around the globe.'

Sports in general has a great amount of potential. I only really follow baseball, but I hear a lot about how this player supports this charity and work in the community and I believe teams actively encourage their players to do so. The challenge of course being that athletes as a group are not known as the most rational of people.

Anecdotally, I feel like I've read a fair amount about poker players and effective altruism - I remember one donation matching offer. Others may know more about this than I do. I imagine it could have appeal because they are familiar with concepts like expective benefits, etc.
Raising for Effective Giving was started by poker pros part of the EA community to raise funds from other poker pros to EA charities. It's pretty quite successful. REG claims to have influenced over $6.5m, including $5.75m to global health, animal welfare, and x-risk charities, with a fundraising multiplier > 1:15.
Context: I asked a more narrow version of this question on LW about the connection between EA and the rationality movement.
Most of the things that come to mind are not strictly movements (I guess I wouldn't really describe poker players that way either), so I'm not sure if this is helpful, but there are the obvious connections between EA and mathematics, philosophy, computer science, to a lesser degree the rest of academia and science, as well as finance.
