A strong showing by street vendors and their supporters at a Stockton City Council meeting succeeded Tuesday night in pushing back a proposed ordinance that would impose fees, rules and penalties on those who make a living from selling food and merchandise outdoors. The council voted unanimously to push off further consideration of the measure until May 27 and require more town hall-style events around the city to gather additional comment from vendors and those who live near their operations.

Another nationwide protest against President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk was held in Stockton this weekend near San Joaquin Delta College. With smiles, music and hand-painted signs, locals gathered at the intersection of Pacific and West Yokuts avenues to rally against recent federal policies they deem as harming immigrants and other Americans. The song “We are family” even rang out across the intersection at one point, while people waved signs and American flags at cars passing by.
