Today we at Change to Win announced the launch of a new campaign targeting the inadequacies of the country’s largest retail pharmacy chain. Cure CVS is a coalition of community groups, researchers, activists and union members who hope to see CVS change its company policies that hurt consumers and communities across the country. The aim of the campaign is to ensure that CVS provides equal access across all communities and income levels to its stores and services, offers fair and accurate prices, provides quality products and services, protects customers’ privacy and puts quality pharmacy care first.
At the launch, the campaign also released the group has also just published the results of a 14 month study of the pharmacy retail chain in its new report: “Cure CVS: From low quality to high prices, CVS is failing our communities.” Researchers visited CVS stores across the country, and the report sheds light on company-wide policies that negatively impact low income, non-white shoppers and communities.
You can download the report, learn more about the campaign and join their e-activist program by visiting the campaign’s new Web site, CureCVSNow.org.
