Street Vendor Project

AFTER 47 YEARS, STREET VENDOR REFORM HAS PASSED!!! From NYC's tamaleras to halal carts, street vendors are an integral part of our city. Today @NYCCouncil advances their rights by making Intros 431, 408 and 1251 law. VENDOR POWER! 🌮🥙🗽

NYC drivers & deliveristas united forever! We are proud to always stand in solidarity with our deliverista siblings and honored by the recognition of such fierce fighters for the working class! ✊🏾💞🎉

To all the street vendor moms out there. We see you 😍 Thank you @rarebeauty and @emilyanxelica for supporting our street vendors and helping sweet vendor moms feel seen. #makeup #rarebeauty #nyc

@jonaswillett1 Cafe

I created a list of my favorite cafes to work at in NYC. Coffee shops > offices. I started my company inside a coffee shop. Beautiful spaces. Good energy. Surrounded by people locking in. And you randomly meet the most interesting people. My list includes the cafe name, neighborhood, and a proprietary, confidential scoring system based on: - Work space (tables, outlets, WiFi, design) - Food (quality, options, price) - Music (playlist, can you take calls) - People (do interesting people go here) - Coffee (does it hit) - Vibes (overall energy) I'd love to share this list with you + add new spots. Comment "CAFE" and I'll DM you the list.

ICYMI - immigrant rights are workers rights!

While most of us are celebrating Mother's Day 🌺 today, thousands of vendor moms are working long hours to provide for their families. This Mother's Day, don't forget to support the moms behind the carts, tables, and food stands that make NYC feel like home.

Talking economic justice w/ @DMJulieSu means: 💰 Implementing street vending reform 🏰 Advancing the Kingsbridge Armory redevelopment 🏪 Supporting small biz on our commercial corridors I'm excited to continue our partnership to bring economic development opportunities to D14!

As Tom Homan threatens to flood our city with ICE agents, we are calling on the @NYCMayor and @NYPDPC to outline clear standards for how the NYPD should respond. Failure to do so could result in chaos, lives lost, and families ripped apart.

Sonia is a beloved vendor leader who sells tamales 🫔in Bushwick. After 25+ years of waiting, she finally received her food vending permit. She also recently had to start treatment for cancer. We ask our community to help Sonia during this difficult time: gofundme.com/f/help-support…

Guadalupe of @VendorPower demands the passage of New York for All to end New York’s collaboration with ICE and make workers across the state safer.

Immigrant rights are workers rights! This #MayDay we call on @govkathyhochul to pass #NY4All to protect the working class immigrants that keep New York moving. Check out today’s OpEd in @NYDailyNews co-authored by NYTWA and @nynurses in support of New York for All. nydailynews.com/2026/05/01/wor…

Thrilled to partner with PopWheels to pilot swappable batteries for vendor carts! From delivery workers to street vendors, partnerships like this are making our streets greener 🔋

“I am a good vendor with the @VendorPower. We need funding to support the implementation of a policy to help the street vendors work safely.”

From the streets to the museum. Same bike. Same fight. ✊🏼 @LosDeliveristas
