Street Vendor Project
The Street Vendor Project is a food vendor advocacy organization. It is partnered with the Urban Justice Center.[1][2][3][4]
The project advocates for "churro ladies", mostly immigrant women who sell churros in the New York City subway. They are often arrested for selling food without licenses.[5][6]
Vendys
[edit]The Street Vendor Project oversaw the Vendy Awards, annual awards to the best street vendors. It ended in 2019.[7]
