Is there anything that crowd sourcing can do to rectify the Adderall shortage?

For many months now there has been a shortage of Adderall. I read an article from the Guardian saying that one congresswoman, Abigail Spanberger, wrote to the DEA and FDA to demand an explanation last December, but Spanberger’s staff told the Guardian she had yet to receive a response. If you're one of the fortunate people to have freelance employment, you can make your own schedule and drive around town during the day looking for pharmacies to fill this. But it's not fair to the full time employees who don't have the luxury of driving around town during the day to ask every single Walgreens if they have a certain drug in stock. No you can't call them and ask them if they have it in stock because it's a controlled substance; they refuse to tell you over the phone if it's in stock. It's not fair to full time employees who might have minimum wage jobs and can't afford to take time off work during the day to drive around town and track down this drug without the risk of losing their jobs. Is there anything that can be done on an individual level, through crowd sourcing, to get the attention of the DEA, FDA, or congress people, in order for them to go to bat for us? I've always been impressed by the ability of crowd sourcing to get together to achieve a common goal and i'm wondering if that can be done in this case?
