  368. <description><![CDATA['Agents of Change': How Students Brought Ethnic Studies to San Francisco State's Campus]]></description>
  369. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Wednesday, a small group of San Francisco State University students ended their 9-day hunger strike after the<br />
  370. school president agreed to increase funding for the ethnic studies department. The strike was reminiscent of a callto-<br />
  371. action in 1968, when SF State students clashed with police and led a five-month strike to bring ethnic studies to<br />
  372. campus. That historic strike is documented in the new film &#8220;Agents of Change.&#8221; We speak with one of filmmakers<br />
  373. and an activist from that original movement.</p>

  661. <description><![CDATA[San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is set to vote Tuesday on an ordinance tightening the city's sanctuary city law. Introduced by Supervisor John Avalos, the measure would prohibit local law enforcement from responding, except in very limited cases, to requests from federal immigration officials for an inmate's personal information or release date. Supporters say that the change is necessary following findings earlier this year that police violated the sanctuary city law by releasing San Francisco resident Pedro Figueroa-Zarceno to federal immigration agents.
