9500 libertyPrince William County, Virginia becomes ground zero in America's explosive battle over immigration policy when elected officials adopt a law requiring police officers to question anyone they have "probable cause" to suspect is an undocumented immigrant. 9500 Liberty reveals the startling vulnerability of a local government, targeted by national anti-immigration networks using the Internet to frighten and intimidate lawmakers and citizens. Alarmed by a climate of fear and racial division, residents form a resistance using YouTube videos and virtual townhalls, setting up a real-life showdown in the seat of county government.

PUTTING OURSELVES TOGETHER: AUTHENTICITY, WHOLENESS, AND SELF-LOVE
LGBT Resource Center : Conference Room Wed Oct 28. 5-7pm
SELFThere is more about the amazing you than what most people see! Yet sometimes we don't allow ourselves to be our whole being to be shared with other people. Often times it is easy to share things like our favorite ice cream flavor, our college or major, but things that are more personal like our political views, our passions, cultural beliefs and values, or our partner's gender are left behind. Whether it's with friends, family, work, or school, parts of our identities are often left behind. Come share your experiences about these situations, and learn ways to incorporate that part of you that's often forgotten. Be your whole, authentic selves without compromising what's most important -YOU! Light refreshments and snackage will be provided, and come make a puzzle piece to put on display. If you have any questions, feel free to send a message to rgalura86@gmail.com.

VIOLENCE AND THE INDIVIDUAL
Center Hall Room 109
Mon Oct 26, 6pm

Please join the University Art Gallery in the first of three discussions associated with the current exhibition entitled Off the Beaten Path: Violence, Women and Art that to explore the global ramifications of gender-based violence." Throughout the world, women and girls are victims of countless and senseless acts of violence. The range of gender-based violence is devastating, occurring, quite literally, from womb to tomb," explains Randy Jayne Rosenberg curator and executive director of Art Works For Change. "The stories that underlie these artworks return us imaginatively to the event of violation and allow it to affect us."

This program will be in a roundtable discussion that examines the range of issues from domestic violence to human trafficking that affect women globally and what is being done to address these concerns as well as what action can be taken.

Speakers include: Taja McKinney-Zisler from CastLA, Kathi Anderson from Survivors of Torture and Katie Feifer from the Voices and Faces project.
