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.

Street Vending in NYC is broken, but my bill, Int. 431-B, is a balanced path towards reform.

The bill pairs expanded ✨access to licenses with more enforcement resources✨ a clearer, faster, and more enforceable accountability framework.

🗞📰 Street Vendors. Bodegas. Supermarkets. Restaurants.

A broad coalition is united behind Int. 431-B because it fixes what’s been broken for decades.

With one Council meeting left, let’s get this done.
