■ Vendors - the men and
women who sell the
newspaper - are at the core of
Street Roots’ mission. Each
year, more than 400 individuals
work as vendors with Street
Roots. At any given time,
throughout the city,
approximately 80 vendors are
at work, rain or shine. Vendors
play an active role in the
management of Street Roots,
meeting regularly to discuss
the program and acting as
members of the organization’s
Board of Directors.

■ With the money made
selling the newspaper,
vendors are able to secure
basic needs, independence
and dignity, and work toward
obtaining housing. Vendors
buy papers, as many as they
want, for 25 cents each, and
sell them for $1 each, keeping
all income and tips from each
sale.
■ Street Roots is an award
winning newspaper focusing
on issues of social justice with
coverage on a wide variety of
interests. Street Roots is a
member of the Society of
Professional Journalists and
adheres to its standards of
ethics in journalism.
