The Street Vendor Project on NYC Food Carts and The Vendor Electrification Project

The Street Vendor Project, a program of the Urban Justice Center, advocates for New York City’s 20,000+ street vendors, championing the rights of vendors as small businesses to earn a living and contribute to the culture and life of New York City. SVP’s Managing Director Mohamed Attia talks about the organization’s initiative to improve air-quality for both vendors and residents, via The Street Vendor Electrification Project, with a goal of converting carts from gas-powered generators to rechargeable batteries.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
