Reminder: Today at City Hall at noon, street vendors and their supporters will be holding a rally to protest the exorbitant fines levied against street vendors for minor infractions that have nothing to do with health or safety. Violations such as having a license in your pocket, having boxes beside your table, and being one foot too close to the crosswalk can lead to fines of $1,000 each. This system puts hardworking vendors out of work!
JOIN THE STREET VENDOR PROJECT TODAY AT NOON AT CITY HALL FOR A HISTORIC DEMONSTRATION OF VENDOR POWER! 1,000 VENDORS AGAINST $1,000 FINES!
Organized by the Street Vendor Project, ¡Vamos Unidos! & the 125th St Merchants Association.
They demand the following:
– Lower the $1,000 fines! (Intro 434)
– Change the way the fines escalate! (Intro 435)
– A hearing on Intros 434 & 435 NOW!
If you love street food, make sure you attend this event. Help get the New York City Council to pass Intros 434 & 435 NOW!
