Executive

George Lang
Executive Director
George leads FreedomWorks as an example of a life transformed by Christ. Having served three prison sentences, he knows the struggles of reentry firsthand. George’s call to serve men comes from Isaiah 42:22 “These are my people hidden away in caves, dungeons and prisons with no one to speak for them.” George was raised in St. Paul and currently lives in Blaine with his wife Ana and their children.

Britt Jackson
Director of Human Resources & Administration
Britt’s story with FreedomWorks began as a daughter reconciling with her father during his time in the FreedomWorks’ program. After ten years as a licensed midwife and a long history of community service and organizing, she felt called to change careers and join the FreedomWorks team. Britt is currently pursuing her MPH in Public Health/Health Sciences, and enjoys music, gardening, audiobooks, and spending time with her family.
