The city of San Jose held a resource fair Monday to educate street vendors on their rights after an increase in attacks and assaults against them across the country.
Monday was the first of several, similar events at San Jose City Hall. It was a welcoming of sorts to street vendors, letting them know that they are part of the city as well., where security guards at a San Jose Home Depot knocked over the strawberry crates of one vendor who was on store property.
Veronica Hernandez fears there's so much hate right now against the Latino community. So she showed up to a resource fair for street vendors put on by the city and several community groups.“They are also our small businesses. Micro small businesses. We as a city need to do whatever it takes for them to get the proper permits, make sure they’re safe out there,” said councilman Omar Torres.
