It's possible that the Canal Street raid on street vendors could have been prevented.
Hear from Deputy Public Advocate Elizabeth Kennedy and @streetvendorproj.bsky.social’s Mohamed Attia on why the Street Vendor Reform package in the @council.nyc.gov is so important, including our bill, Intro 408.

Opinion: Fixing NYC’s street vending chaos is a moral obligation – and a simple one
A newly amended City Council bill will create a regulatory system that balances incentives with enforcement and builds dignity for street vendors.

Trump wants to convince us that immigrants are scary bad guys responsible for every hardship we face — to distract us while he & his billionaire friends rob us blind.
But we won’t fall for it.

It's way harder for New Yorkers who are locked up in the City's jails to vote than it should be.

Our campaign presents a road map for our youth movements in cities across the country. From New York City to Los Angeles, Chicago to DC, and Houston to Philadelphia, we can and we must organize our cities as fortresses against encroaching oligarchical fascism.
New York City Is at a Crossroads, and Its Youth Are Ready to Lead
The Livable Future Package is a model for a city government that stands up for our generation in the face of fascism and won’t back down from the fight for a city we can afford.

ICE just escalated NYC enforcement in the most visible possible way: sweeping in and arresting immigrant vendors on Canal Street, where tourists have forever flocked to buy knockoff designer handbags.
