One of Speak Up's innovative ways to recruit new vendors is via 'panhandling cards' (pictured right) distributed to the general public. The idea -explained on the street paper's website- is that "whenever you see someone begging for money, you can offer them a job instead. Direct them to Speak Up, where they’ll be able to take a step away from panhandling and gain some self-respect. Direct them to Speak Up, where they’ll find a supportive community to journey alongside them."
