Our response to COVID19

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been listening to the fear and anxieties of the micro-entrepreneurs we work with as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. None of us can accurately anticipate how this will impact our communities, but what’s clear is that micro-businesses and their workers are already seeing a negative economic impact.

We have created the Street Vendor Emergency Fund with our partners at East LA Community Corporation and Public Counsel. This fund will provide direct cash assistance to vendors who can not access resources from the government.

Street Vendor Emergency Fund

This fund will provide $400 in direct cash to street vendors who cannot access government resources. The United Way Pandemic Relief Fund has donated $50,000 to seed this fund. The Roy and Patricia Disney Family Foundation has also donated $25,000.

Vendor leaders from the Los Angeles Street Vendor Campaign have formed a committee to identify and disburse resources to street vendors in the community. Now is the time to support these entrepreneurs who will not be able to access government resources.

Thank you:
