More than 600 street vendors in New York City marched to City Hall seeking legislative reforms, highlighting the need for expanded access to vendor licenses and education.
Street vendors, mostly immigrants and people of color, face barriers such as a limited number of vending licenses, which hampers their ability to work legally and earn a living.
Councilmember Pierina Sanchez advocates for four pieces of legislation to expand vendor opportunities, enhance education, and create a regulated vending framework for better access.
Guadeloupe Sosa emphasizes that vendors are not criminals but are simply striving to provide for themselves and their families in the city they serve.
