In America, the government doesn’t get to pick winners and losers in the marketplace. Yet states and cities throughout the country block new business to protect established interests.

So, Awa and IJ are fighting back. Today we talk with IJ attorneys Renee Flaherty and Will Aronin about how IJ is protecting the right to make a living.
