At our core, the Street Vendor Project's work centers on creating a diverse community of street vendor leaders through multilingual political education and organizing training. We organize in membership bases by language, in Spanish, Arabic, Bangla, Mandarin, French, Wolof, and English. Together we advocate for legislative change to better the lives of NYC's smallest businesses and hold regular meetings where we plan collective actions to get vendors' voices heard.
Each year, our membership elects a Leadership Board of 16 deeply invested members who are representatives of the broader membership and engage in organizational decision-making. Last week our new Leadership Board was democratically elected, with a diverse group of members representing both food and merchandise, permitted and unpermitted vendors, from Sunset Park to Parkchester, from 1 to 21 years of membership.
Please help us congratulate the 2024-2025 Leadership Board: (from left to right) Guadalupe Sosa, Ysabel Rosario, Cleotilde Juarez, Xochitl Campos, Ahmed Mourad, Marie Rose Goba, Soda Diongue, Birane Ndiaye, Serigne Gaye, MD Rahman, Ni Jin Fang, Calvin Baker, Theresa Wright, Rosario Troncoso, Marlene Ensaldo, and Samya Eskandar!
