Pay your interns! NationalInternDay
. “Very few members of Congress actually pay their interns. We will be one of them.”
Ocasio-Cortez’s promise comes after she tweeted on Monday that she had visited a Washington, D.C., restaurant and met several Capitol Hill staff members who were also working at the restaurant to make ends meet. “This week I went to dive spot in DC for some late night food. I chatted up the staff,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “This is a disgrace. Congress of ALL places should raise MRAs so we can pay staff an actual DC living wage.”She added that it isn’t fair for each member of Congress to expect to be paid a living wage while not paying their staff.
“It is unjust for Congress to budget a living wage for ourselves, yet rely on unpaid interns & underpaid overworked staff just bc Republicans want to make a statement about ‘fiscal responsibility,’” Ocasio-Cortez continued. “If that’s the case, they can cut down on staff to pay them well. Or raise the MRA.”
