EDITORIAL streetrootsnews @gmail.com. OUR VENDORS At the heart of Street Roots' mission are its hard working and dedicated vendors. Vendors buy Street Roots for 25 cents and sell the paper for $1. More than 50 vendors sell Street Roots in the Portland metro area and Vancouver. Each vendor can be identified by a vendor badge and each is assigned to a specific territory. Vendors are empowered not only in their work to sell the paper, but many also contribute as writers and production assistants. The money they earn helps them meet basic housing, food and health care needs.
