Dear John,

Tomorrow, our European Greens Congress kicks off in Lyon. We’ll adopt an election manifesto, decide on our campaign priorities, vote on new members of our Green family, and of course elect our Green leading candidates who will be the faces of our European Election campaign.

As part of the Green family, you can join the Congress even without being in Lyon. In this email, we tell you how.
