Since February 2009, workers at the Sheraton Crystal City have been campaigning for justice and demanding a fair and democratic process to decide on unionization without management intimidation.  After a year of struggle including intimidation, supply shortages, protests, and the firing of a union supporter, the owner, HEI, has still not accepted the demand for a fair, democratic process.  Workers have now taken the dramatic step of calling for a boycott of their own hotel.

  Long before Arizona, Virginia's Prince William County became ground zero in America's explosive battle over immigration policy when it started requiring police to question anyone they had "probable cause" to suspect of being an undocumented immigrant.  The acclaimed film, 9500 Liberty, documents the debate and profound effects of this policy on communities in our region.  The documentary follows the national anti-immigration forces who frighten and intimidate local lawmakers and citizens, and the residents who resist by using YouTube videos and virtual townhalls to set up a real-life showdown in the seat of county government.
