Shedding a light on New York City's street vendors and the fight to get a license

On this edition of Tiempo, the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility completed a historic journey for diversity, equity and inclusion. The team hit the streets and walked from Washington D.C. to New York City, a journey of over 240 miles. We'll speak with the group's president and CEO about the organization's mission. But first: proposed legislation is trying to help city vendors obtain a license. The NYC Street Vendor Project recently took party in a documentary that sheds light on the city's vendors and their plight to get a license. Some vendors have been waiting for more than 10 years for a permit. Recently, there's been an effort by city leaders to overhaul the longstanding street vending rules. The most sweeping change would remove a decades-old cap on the city's highly coveted and restricted vendor permits and licenses. Joining our program is Carina Kaufman-Gutierrez, the deputy director of the Street Vendor Project. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
