We'd be talking about getting in touch with millions of people across the continental United States alone. And there is the issue of many people not knowing how to stage such a boycott in such a way as to really make a dent in things I'm thinking. Meanwhile while such prep. is going on it's business as usual for the targeted company.
It doesn't have to be organized. If you object to agency pricing, just stop buying those books. Decreased sales will eventually take its toll.

Personally, I don't care if agency pricing is ever stopped. No author is worth those prices. I'll just read something else.
