IRS990/Desc0Freedom To Work: Work is the key to breaking free from dependency, but government regulations on jobs make it hard for people to get a job and earn a living especially those in poverty. This project breaks down these barriers by promoting work and lessening the burdens from opportunity-killing regulations like occupational licensing, unleashing the freedom to work.
