Food cart licensing in the 2027 budget

The 2027 Fair Share Budget Proposal includes a pathway to license mobile food cart vendors in Chicago, and we stood with the street vendors at City Hall to announce it.

On November 5 we stood at City Hall with the Street Vendor Association of Chicago (SVAC) and the Johnson administration to announce it: the 2027 Fair Share Budget Proposal includes a pathway to bring mobile food cart vendor licensing to Chicago, the way other major cities already do.

The vendors and the food equity leaders who organized with them built this: solutions that open up food businesses and livelihoods, especially for immigrant communities. Byron's part was to stand with them and carry it into the budget.

A budget says who matters. We are pushing for a 2027 budget that is right and just for all of us, and the small business owners who sell from a cart are on that list. Knock doors with us.
