how are you supposed to communicate a precise agenda in a hashtag
You're not. That's the problem. In the case of #5DemandsNot1Less there is really no context in the hashtag itself to determine its meaning until you learn more about the movement. It is a pointer to the beliefs of the movement, not the beliefs themselves.
With #BlackLivesMatter, that is not the case. The hashtag has its own fairly obvious semantic weight that is not an accurate pointer back to all of the specific beliefs of the political movement.
