MID Across the Aisle – Dedicated to promoting dialogue at all levels and segments of the society, Maryland Institute for Dialogue aims to foster a productive dialogue between the two largest divisions, Republicans and Democrats, in the country through the activities of the MID Across the Aisle program. Recognizing both domestically and internationally negative implications of the absence or lack of productive dialogue between the two, MID Across the Aisle program intends to promote dialogue among the members of the two communities throughout socio-cultural activities.
