Raspail Appeal from students occupying the EHESS
This following text is a translation of the Raspail Appeal which students occupying the EHESS in Paris put out before being evicted.
While this occupation of the EHESS (School of Higher Social Science Studies) has ended, many of these students have joined the occupation at Tolbiac University, Paris. The statement, issued on 24 March, about the CPE, comes from a socially and ecologically minded anarchist perspective.

Today's demo in Paris was simply....... ***** amazing! Excellent organization, coordination, but, still, quite a lot of tension in the street. But still!!!!! I've never lived anything like this, even the demos against Le Pen were smaller in 2002....!!!!!!! I'm at loss of words to describe this.
