“Handouts have unfortunately become a powerful political tool, especially among young people who deserve far more than temporary relief.

“We want job security reforms that protect workers. We want quality education that prepares us for the future. We want meaningful employment opportunities. We want investment in arts, innovation, and talent development so creativity becomes an industry, not a hobby,” Octopizzo stated.
