Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey on Wednesday posted a job listing on X for his Boston office, specifically encouraging “BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, and other underrepresented candidates” to apply.
Democrats over the years have consistently advocated for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, expanding into sectors like business — most notably progressing federally under the Biden-Harris administration. In a post on X, the Democrat senator openly called for specific societal groups to apply for his office’s fall 2025 internship, notably leaving out any advocacy for white or male applicants.
“I’m hiring self-motivated and eager interns for fall 2025 in my Boston office. BIPOC, LGBTQ+, working class, and other underrepresented candidates with Massachusetts ties are encouraged to apply. Applications due Friday, August 8th,” Markey wrote.
With Markey’s website listing open options for interns at his Boston office, the qualifications for the role say the program is for undergraduate bachelor’s and associate degree students, with applicants needing to be “self-starters who possess strong writing, research, and interpersonal skills.”
