Using entrepreneurship & economic participation as a pretext to violently kidnap Angelenos is so depraved. Civil rights aren't dependent on economic contributions, but FWIW, street vendors nourish our communities and drive our economy to the tune of $500M annually.

Yesterday, immigration agents arrested a woman selling tamales outside a Home Depot. DHS says she's an "unlicensed vendor without authorization to work in the country ... Unlicensed vendors undercut U.S. businesses that must pay business fees and are subject to regulations.”

there are going to be a lot of housekeepers, gardeners, nannies, other house staff etc in need of financial relief in the coming weeks/months. this city often overlooks them and it can be tough bc a lot of the work might be “unofficial” (like cash only) but we can’t forget them

Update: #SB1103 is awaiting @CAgovernor's signature! If he signs it into law, California will finally have basic protections for the small businesses and nonprofits that strengthen our communities and drive our economy.
capitalandmain.com@capitalandmain

A new California bill aims to protect small businesses from unexpected rent increases, hidden added fees and unclear lease terms. If passed, it would be the first state law in the U.S. to give such protections to small business renters. #SB1103 capitalandmain.com/california-law…

We’re calling on @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to sign #SB1103 to protect small businesses and nonprofits from displacement here in California! The bill creates commonsense standards that safeguard small businesses and help entrepreneurs. Governor Newsom, Please sign #SB1103 now!

We partnered with @InclusivAction to send #SB1103 to @CAgovernor Newsom's desk to protect small businesses from hidden fees and their rental agreements.

The smallest businesses & nonprofits are being displaced from California communities at alarming rates. That's why we fought for #SB1103 to create commonsense standards that protect small biz. @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom, please sign #SB1103!

Read about Ruth, and her leadership in a lawsuit that has already caused the repeal of a cruel (and unlawful) ban on street vending in Hollywood. As vendors like Ruth continue to organize and stand up for their rights, our economy will grow stronger. nytimes.com/2024/06/29/bus…

This is a cruel decision that will do nothing to solve the homelessness crisis. We cannot criminalize our way out of our lack of affordable housing. We cannot arrest our way out of our failing safety nets. We cannot fine our way out of the eviction to homelessness pipeline.
Local Progress@LocalProgress

Make no mistake: #SCOTUS' cruel decision in #JohnsonvGrantsPass does not reflect what local electeds want or need. It will only devastate our communities and make it more difficult to address homelessness. Our full statement: localprog.org/GrantsPassDeci…

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy – but they’re fighting to stay open across California. We’re asking CA Senate leaders to vote yes on the Commercial Tenant Protection Act #SB1103 during the critical committee hearing on April 30!
