The city says their parks and green spaces are rare and finite, so they want to keep them that way.
"They're preserving their culture. They're sharing it, and this is their livelihood," said Jaelyn Sanidad a programs coordinator for Empowering Marginalized Asian Communities, or EMAC, in Stockton.
"Some of the concerns we want to address are transparency and who you are implementing these regulations on," said Leiva, community organizer for Stockton Stands.
On Tuesday night, the city council debated banning canopies for street vending and removing vendors completely from public parks, citing environmental concerns.
"They want to frame this as safety and public health, but safety and public health for who?" Sanidad said.
Sanidad said that these regulations are going to make it harder for vendors to sell but also bring up more issues like language barriers and run-ins with enforcement.
Advocates hope the council can reconsider the regulations but also see the positive impact the street vendors of Stockton bring to the city's bottom line.
To sell on the streets in California, you do need a license. For each violation, penalties go up from $100 for a first violation of your license, all the way up to $1,000.
