“On behalf of Make the Road members who faced mass unemployment and sought any meme it is time for comprehensive legislation that protects street vendors and creates a pathway to entrepreneurship. Immigrant street vendors survive at the intersections of targeted harassment from police and exclusion from the social safety net. Bypassing S1175A and A5081A, New York will bring thousands of working families into the fold of a formalized industry” said Angeles Solis, Lead Organizer – Workplace Justice Team at Make the Road New York.
