No. The term 'Crusade' is only used in two senses: the wars fought in Palestine in the early Middle Ages to 'liberate' the city of Jerusalem from Islam; and in general, to describe a fanatical and often religiously motivated drive or protest against people, convictions, institutions, or sometimes other nations that hold convictions or have habits that you are vehemently opposed to.

So you can have a local or nationwide 'crusade' against abortion or abortion clinics, same-sex , arranged or underage marriages, or against the drinking of hard liquor or the smoking of cigarettes.
