CREATE ·2022 Grants ChallengeOrganizing Against Street Vendor Displacement
The street vendor movement in LA has won historic policy changes. However, implementation of vending programs has been haphazard and attacks on vendors from enforcement agencies continue. CPC will work with street vending hubs across LA to support the establishment of self-governance structures, support education on current vending regulations, mitigate interaction with enforcement agencies, and build a network of leaders from each hub that will organize against displacement and advocate for improvements to the city's vending program.
