FreedomWorks is a conservative and libertarian advocacy group based in Washington, D.C. FreedomWorks trains volunteers, assists in campaigns, and encourages them to mobilize, interacting with both fellow citizens and their political representatives. It was widely associated with the Tea Party movement[3][4][5][6] before firmly aligning with Donald Trump.[7] The Koch brothers were once a source of the organization's funding.[6]
