"Calls to boycott Walgreens grow as pharmacy confirms it will not sell abortion pills in 20 states, including some where it is legal." - Business Insider
"The decision came in response to a letter from 20 state attorneys general who oppose abortion rights, encouraging Walgreens not to make the drugs available in their states. Walgreens' decision is part of a pattern of support for anti-abortion officials, including significant donations to officials seeking to ban or dramatically restrict abortion." - Popular Information

Designing a rapid response app
Focus on the decision makers to bring about change - Saul Alinksy
"RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions." This app includes publicly available phone numbers and photos of key Walgreens executives, board of directors and investors.
Make it easy to make a phone call to protest
A message tweeted directly requires the reader to manually dial the phone number. Adding the Rapid Response app URL (https://infogram.com/boycottwalgreens-1h7g6k0gypqyo2o) to a tweet or social media post lets people click on an image to make a phone call. No dialing needed. The Rapid Response app has a built in dialer which runs on most phones and laptops - without having to instal any software.
Give supporters a phone script
Help people with a script they can use when they call Walgreens or their Senator. This script was created with the free BigStage Teleprompter app and can be shared with this link. A free teleprompter opens on clicking the link and is pre-loaded with a script. They can can use it to practice sharing their frustration with Walgreen and also use it when making the call.
