Maria, a 61-year old mango vendor, asks merely for stability: a permit to run her biz to support her family
But instead of a pathway to entrepreneurship, she has been hit with >$10,000 in fines
She deserves an opportunity to operate her biz. Economic recovery must include all!
Street vendors are a vital part of the cultural & economic fabric of NYC. As essential workers, they powered our city through the pandemic.
A just recovery must include a functioning vending system that supports entrepreneurship.

@Excellion The best software developers I know and the best attorneys I know *all* laugh at “code is law”. Perhaps the pitch is meant to attract those who understand neither field
Thank you @kallos@BenKallos for your incredible support for street vendors & excluded workers over the years. It's time to end the exploitative system that hurts the most marginalized New Yorkers even further.
Let's pass #Intro1116 today!
#OnThisDay in 1945, Soviet soldiers liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp.
Approximately 1.1 million people were murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and over 90% of them were Jewish.
We now mark this day as #HolocaustMemorialDay. #OTD
Street vendors are an essential part of NYC culture—and they provide economic opportunity for thousands of immigrants across the city.
It's time to put an end to exploitation and pass #Intro1116!

"Restaurants & street vendors work hand in hand to feed the people of NY. We're not in competition with one another - we support each other" - David Oropeza, co-owner of the Bolivian Llama Party
Our small business community sticks together! @NYCCouncil pass #Intro1116

This is probs a good time to remind everyone in #bitcoin/#crypto about #SIMswaps and to check with your mobile carrier about protecting your account (from someone who's been SIM swapped 3 times).
It's 2021, marking 38 YEARS(!) since @NYCCouncil updated street vending policy
Even after serving Queens for decades, mother-daughter pair Mercedes & Sandra work in fear of harassment. They desperately want a permit to work in peace, but can't get one
