​Why Should I Support street vendors?

​Because...

• Street vendors contribute to a thriving local economy.
• The majority of street vendors are Black and Brown women, so supporting them means supporting a racially diverse community and a more equitable economy for all. 
• Street vendors are a crucial part of California’s food infrastructure. Modernizing the current code is an opportunity to include and protect street vendors, while also advancing all food services.​
