On Thursday, May 30th, BCI and supporters gathered at Sankofa to celebrate the victories and hard work of DC Street Vendors, who have been navigating the steps to access licenses over the past thirteen months. From getting their ServSafe Certifications to repairing and upgrading carts and other equipment with the BCI License Fund, vendors shared their recent wins and accomplishments with community members.
Vendors also called on their community to support them in their fight for a fair implementation, including pushing DC Health to make their microenterprise home kitchen permit available and accessible for DC’s smallest businesses. You can learn more about the campaign and send a letter in support of vendors here.
