Thank you to my colleagues for your votes, the advocates for helping us get here, and the wide range of stakeholders for their valuable feedback.

I am fully committed to the success of this reform and look forward to its implementation.

Over the next few years, existing street vendors will have a genuine opportunity to apply for licenses and operate without fear of excessive fines or penalties.

HISTORIC! A supermajority of @council.nyc.gov members (39/51!!!) voted to reform the NYC street vending system by passing Int. 431.

As the daughter and granddaughter of street vendors, I could not be more proud of how far we’ve come.

Today the NYC Council votes on the Street Vendor Reform Package. 70+ organizations incl. immigrant rights groups, open space advocates, supermarkets & street vendors support @cmpisanchez.bsky.social Intro 431B
