Across the Aisle

About Across the Aisle

Across the Aisle™ is providing young Americans with opportunities to learn, lead, and find bipartisan solutions to our country’s biggest challenges. Since 2016, we’ve been getting Americans talking — and Washington, D.C. working — again. The next generation of voters and leaders will be called upon to address major policy issues like the national debt, the federal budget, Social Security, and Medicare. Our two main programs, Free the Facts™ and Answer the Call™, are helping them form their own opinions, advance policy solutions, and meaningfully participate in the national debate about these issues. At Across the Aisle, we are... ✅ Disruptors: We have the courage to responsibly disrupt Washington, D.C.’s status quo by tackling our country’s biggest policy challenges in a smart, innovative, and unique way. ✅ Conveners: We actively engage people from a wide variety of backgrounds, ideologies, and party affiliations to come together and find solutions that will offer the most good for the most Americans. ✅ Solutions Oriented: We motivate people to actively solve our country’s policy challenges, not just complain about them. ✅ Optimistic: We offer honest optimism to show people that these challenges, while complex and urgent, can be solved by taking action now. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., our staff is committed to fulfilling our mission of empowering the next generation of leaders and change-makers through education, professional development, and leadership opportunities.
