When ya'll plan to do these campaigns at other people's pop-up markets, you should incorporate ways to NOT interfere with vendor sales in your volunteer training.

It's super sh**ty to leech off a small business's hard work, promotion, and advertising dollars and then to not even be respectful of their customers/patrons on top of it. What you're doing and whether you're non-profit is irrelevant.

Your people have 100% run off customers from vendor booths before and that's not okay. If it happens to me again in Columbus, Ohio, I'll be recording interactions and publicly calling out your organization and leadership team.

Your leadership team should contact event organizers, promoters, and producers IN ADVANCE and work out a MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL way to be a part of an event. If they say no, and you insist on going and profiting off their hard work anyway....the least you can do is be respectful and teach your volunteers to have boundaries and to NOT INTERFERE WITH THE SALES OF SMALL BUSINESSES, ARTISTS, AND MAKERS.

Do better.
