Dear <<First Name>>,
Welcome to Manifesto Season. Correction: On Monday 13 April at 7pm we will be discussing The Manifesto of the Communist Party. Here's the Zoom link.
We also have an ongoing Twist forum. Click here to join the team. The discussion will be in the #Current Topics channel. As Twist is meant to be asynchronous, you can post there whenever you want.
