Shoutout to our friends at @payourinterns for launching this important new initiative to #SaveInternships!

The Hill’s reliance on unpaid internships as the first rung in the career ladder leads to the systematic over-representation of rich white people writing our laws - and we all suffer as a result.
On Wednesday, I'm proud to stand with young leaders who are demanding change.
Alright Activist Fam: We need y’all to RT:

I penned an open letter about our upcoming #InternsforChange rally. I felt it would be important for students around the country to know that @payourinterns NEEDS their help. I sent it to over 85 college papers - 1 published it. @BadgerHerald Thank You!

1/2 Me: Congress has $ to pay interns.
Career Center Person: My students go on the website of our rep. and it says it's unpaid so they're not applying. What should we do?
This is why it's important for offices to be transparent. If you pay, then great, put it on your website..
We’re excited that our co-founder is heading to @UWMadison to present on the paid internship movement in front of leading experts in experiential education! #PayOurInterns
Phrase that needs to go: This position is unpaid, but volunteer hours or school credit is available.
This won’t pay the bills interns have! #PayYourInterns!
Recently we announced that we will be honoring an intern with our Trailblazer Award at our 3 Yr Event. We have the distinguished pleasure of announcing that we will be honoring @RepPressley by naming the award after her.
Full statement and tix link in bio! #POI3YR
"60% of college students can't intern because they're busy working side jobs to pay for school. 50% are at risk of becoming houseless. Think about it, if 40% can't afford to eat, what makes you think they can intern for free?" -@CarlosAngeles25#LTXFest19
.@A_Y_Castillo is my shero and friend and deserves all the awards. But what sets her apart from the rest is the fact that while being honored by @CHCI
she took the time to to uplift @payourinterns and our story. 😭😭🥰
My first contact with public service wasn't in Congress. It started in high school when I applied to a program that flew me to Sac to see the statehouse. 9 years later I'm back and let's just say @payourinterns has a plan to make public service more accessible to Californians.
(1/3) Someone had the nerve to tell me making government more accessible by advocating for $ internships wasnt "civic engagement." Sorry to burst your bubble but civic engagement is more than just registering people to vote. How do you think communities who have been..
Breaking news— Unpaid internships don’t pay the bills!!
