“It all started with the pandemic because we couldn’t go outside for 3 months. We don’t get any help. I’m not able to get any unemployment benefits. After we realized that the pandemic wasn’t going away we started working again, risking that we would get sick. There are some that have died. A lady who used to vend over there, she died from COVID. And that scared us. But even still we weren’t selling much because people weren’t going out. And then as we started to sell more, they closed the park down.”

— Maria Hernandez on the reopening of Echo Park Lake, as told to Gabe Fuente.
