<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Squad&#8221; member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13034023/ayanna-pressley-says-walgreens-racist-store-closures-high-crime-areas.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> Walgreens of racism after the company closed a pharmacy in her district.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Walgreens <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11965589/The-stores-closed-doors-rampant-theft.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">closed</a> a store in Chicago in January 2023 and three more in March 2023; two of them in Texas and one in Florida. Last summer, the company <a href="https://patch.com/illinois/deerfield/walgreens-closing-150-stores-nationwide-summer-2024-spokesperson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acknowledged</a> it would close 150 stores across the country by August of 2024.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Walgreens is planning to close yet another pharmacy in the Massachusetts 7th, this time on Warren Street in Roxbury, a community that is 85% black and Latino,” Pressley said on the House floor. “This closure is a part of a larger trend of abandoning low-income communities like the previous closures in Mattapan and Hyde Park, both in the Massachusetts 7th. When a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood, they disrupt the entire community and they take with them baby formula, diapers, asthma inhalers, life-saving medications, and, of course, jobs.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“These closures are not arbitrary and they are not innocent,” Pressley charged. “They are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“That is why I joined with Senators Markey and Warren to demand answers from Walgreens&#8217; CEO,” she continued. “Why was there no community input? No adequate notice to customers? And no transition resources to prevent gaps in health care? Shame on you, Walgreens. Having a website with talking points about health equity and underserved communities is not enough. Walgreens is a multi-billion-dollar corporation that needs to put their money where their mouth is and stop divesting from Black and brown communities.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Walgreens said it would transfer patient files and prescriptions to a Walgreens roughly one mile away, while offering free same-day delivery of prescriptions for 90 days. “For non-pharmacy items, the store said it would do free same-day delivery for 90 days and waive the $35 minimum,” Boston 25 <a href="https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/fourth-walgreens-pharmacy-boston-set-close/V33AWV5B5BGQTAPAA5QDTE3WZY/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
