Paying interns is not a partisan issue. .@SenatorTimScott understands that Washington isn’t reachable for many Americans. “We don’t want the next generation of public servants to miss out on these opportunities.” #ReflectUs

100%! Our founders were both unpaid Hill interns and the reason they continue to do this work is collectively we can ensure future interns don't have to go through what we did. @tylergiles_
I wish paid internships in Congress existed for the 3 and a half years I was an intern on the Hill. My time has gone past, however, these paid opportunities will bring a diverse class of hillterns to DC this summer and that's something to be pretty excited about

Absolutely. If philanthropic #funders sent a signal that they expect grantees to pay interns this would impact the entire nonprofit eco-system. Funders also should make it clear they won't use the "your overhead is too big" for orgs that are thinking of paying interns. @NCRP
It's time for #government & #nonprofits to @payourinterns and offer a #livingwage for entry level jobs! Congress allocated $14M to pay their interns. Now philanthropic #funders need to ensure paid #internships in grantee organizations.

There should not be a price tag when it comes to public service. Interns should be selected based on who is going to work the hardest, not who can afford to live for free in the 4th most expensive city in the country.
I never interned on the hill in college cause i couldn’t afford to move to a new city for unpaid experience. Fam, If u have any interest in policy/govt work, 🗣 Check This Out!

All of this! It's not just about "paying interns" but ensuring the funds are actually going to youth who need it. Go to ReflectUs.info a one stop shop for interns interested in a paid Hill summer internship.
Love seeing this from @payourinterns. Funding means nothing if we aren’t addressing other systems that can work against diverse candidates, including limited recruitment pools
