IRS990/Desc0Freedom to Work: Local and state governments have created barriers to work that limit opportunity and make it harder for people to climb the economic ladder, disproportionately harming low-income families who are trying to earn a living. FGA's proven reforms help to break down these barriers by promoting work and lessening the burdens from opportunity-killing regulations like occupational licensing, unleashing the freedom to work.
