The Strike Debt group (f.k.a. The Debt Collective) first arose in the Occupy Wall St. camps (along with groups working on other topics). One of their first programs was to buy up student and medical debt for pennies on the dollar and then discharge it using donated funds; in this way, as of the last time I checked ca. 2021, the group had managed to cancel $31,982,455.76 of medical and student debt.

(This illustrates one of great advantages of in-person gatherings of people with varied backgrounds, interests, and abilities: they discover they have important concerns in common with others they might never otherwise have connected with, and can more quickly and easily organize to act on them.)
