Starting the morning with LA Street Vendors at the Mosk Courthouse to defend our lawsuit against the City of LA. Time to abolish the “No Vending Zones”! @CPColectivo @InclusivAction @elaccOrg @PublicCounsel

The City of LA had attempted to have the lawsuit dismissed last month as they claimed that no legal merits justified the lawsuit.

We are committed to continue our legal fight to ensure street vendors in Los Angeles are treated with dignity and

This court decision comes after a lawsuit filed in December 2022 by street vendors and a coalition of community groups—@cpcolectivo, @elaccorg, @inclusivaction, represented by @public_counsel and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP— to end the city’s “no-vending zones."

We are committed to ensuring that the City of LA acknowledges that street vendors are part of the economic, social, and cultural fabric of Los Angeles and deserve the same economic opportunity as other small businesses in the city.

[East LA Community Corporation @elaccOrg]

For more than a decade, street vendors have advocated for just treatment and recognition of their rights as small business owners and entrepreneurs. Due to their efforts, in 2018, California legalized street vending!
