the month of March. 7 April, for example, is 38 mars, or 38 March. Radio debout, TV debout, and alternative media channels Protestors in the movement have declared themselves wary of mainstream media coverage, preferring to communicate via alternative channels. In Paris's Place de la République, activists set up their own radio and TV stations, broadcasting over the Internet.
