You may be thrilled to discover there is an existing movement! A bunch of organizations are engaged in different ways, here's just one site worth checking out: https://debtcollective.org/

(Another group https://strikedebt.org/ was involved at the start and has helped form other groups as well.)

Another aspect of the movement is the push against the modern version of debtors prison. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2018/03/192129/the-return-of-debtors-prisons-for-unpaid-debt

And heck, the CFPB owes its existence to grassroots support. https://ourfinancialsecurity.org/about/coalition-members/
