Dear John!

This is a special edition of our newsletter. In just over a week, around
1,000 Greens from all over Europe will meet in Copenhagen to keep up the
fight for a Greener and more just future!

This Congress will be a decisive moment for us. It takes place in the
middle of the war in Ukraine, an energy and food crisis, and a cost of
living crisis. At the same time, climate catastrophes are increasing in
frequency and intensity.

AS GREENS, WE DON'T SHY AWAY FROM THE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR
THESE CRISES.

In this email we will give you an insight into the Congress programme,
speakers and decision-making. Next week, we will send you another email
with all the details about how you can attend the Congress when you're not
in Copenhagen.

Venlig Hilsen

Your EGP team!

EXHIBITION: MY BODY MY CHOICE

As part of the Congress, we will host an art exhibition on the topic of
sexual and reproductive health and rights. Through the MY BODY MY CHOICE
[9]exhibition, we want to highlight artworks that engage with the issue of
abortion rights in Europe. Collected through an open call to artists, the
exposition is a collection of art illustrations, photography, artworks,
media art, online projects, installations and sounds. Presenting her work
at the exposition will be, among others, Kasia Strek [10], Polish
photojournalist and winner of several international prizes and
scholarships.
