Our vision

The backbone of California’s economy and culture

Street vendors provide a familiar, trustworthy face to many, while helping to make California shine.

Led largely by Black and Brown women and immigrants, street vendors are valued community members. Not only do they provide affordable goods and services, they also create crucial jobs, support local economies, and enrich California’s diverse cultural landscape.

Who we are

A coalition of vendors, for vendors

Uniting for fairness, economic justice, and community empowerment

The California Street Vendors Coalition is a grassroots alliance advocating for the rights, safety, and economic advancement of street vendors across the state. By providing resources, legal support, and a unified voice, we strive to ensure fair treatment and opportunities for all street vendors in California. Alongside street vendors, our anchor partners include Community Power Collective, Inclusive Action for the City, Public Counsel, and Western Center on Law and Poverty.
