Ayanna Pressley says closing of Walgreens stores in high crime areas is racist

BizPac Review: Sure, Boston’s progressive policies have made it easy for thieves to rob places like Walgreens blind, but if the drugstore doesn’t continue putting their employees and customers at risk and smile as their merchandise walks out the door, they are racists according to Squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.). As BizPac Review reported, community activists attempted to shame Walgreens into keeping its Roxbury area doors open, claiming the company had an “obligation” to the crime-infested community. In 2022, Walgreens closed three of its other Boston stores. On Tuesday, Pressley accused Walgreens of “racial & economic discrimination”
