| 59 | <p>You've just taken a huge step towards protecting your privacy online. But |
| 60 | each of us acting alone isn't enough. To topple bulk surveillance, we need |
| 61 | to build a movement for the autonomy and freedom of all computer users. Join |
| 62 | the Free Software Foundation's community to meet like-minded people and work |
| 63 | together for change.</p> |

| 112 | <h3>Bring Email Self-Defense to new people</h3> |
| 113 | |
| 114 | <p>Understanding and setting up email encryption is a daunting task for |
| 115 | many. To welcome them, make it easy to find your public key and offer to |
| 116 | help with encryption. Here are some suggestions:</p> |
| 117 | |
| 118 | <ul> |
| 119 | <li># Lead an Email Self-Defense workshop for your friends and community, |
| 120 | using our <a href="workshops.html">teaching guide</a>.</li> |
| 121 | |
| 122 | <li># Use <a href="https://fsf.org/share?u=https://u.fsf.org/zb&t=Encrypt%20with%20me%20using%20Email%20Self-Defense%20%40fsf"> |
| 123 | our sharing page</a> to compose |
| 124 | a message to a few friends and ask them to join you in using encrypted |
| 125 | email. Remember to include your GnuPG public key fingerprint so they can |
| 126 | easily download your key.</li> |
| 127 | |
| 128 | <li># Add your public key fingerprint anywhere that you normally display |
| 129 | your email address. Some good places are: your email signature (the text |
| 130 | kind, not the cryptographic kind), social media profiles, blogs, Web sites, |
| 131 | or business cards. At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours on our <a |
| 132 | href="https://fsf.org/about/staff">staff page</a>.</li> |
| 133 | </ul> |

| 142 | <h3>Protect more of your digital life</h3> |
| 143 | |
| 144 | <p>Learn surveillance-resistant technologies for instant |
| 145 | messages, hard drive storage, online sharing, and more at <a |
| 146 | href="https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:Privacy_pack"> |
| 147 | the Free Software Directory's Privacy Pack</a> and <a |
| 148 | href="https://prism-break.org">prism-break.org</a>.</p> |
| 149 | |
| 150 | <p>If you are using Windows, macOS or any other proprietary operating |
| 151 | system, we recommend you switch to a free software operating system like |
| 152 | GNU/Linux. This will make it much harder for attackers to enter your computer |
| 153 | through hidden back doors. Check out the Free Software Foundation's <a |
| 154 | href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html">endorsed versions of |
| 155 | GNU/Linux.</a></p> |

| 164 | <h3>Optional: Add more email protection with Tor</h3> |
| 165 | |
| 166 | <p><a href="https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en">The Onion Router |
| 167 | (Tor) network</a> wraps Internet communication in multiple layers of encryption |
| 168 | and bounces it around the world several times. When used properly, Tor confuses |
| 169 | surveillance field agents and the global surveillance apparatus alike. Using |
| 170 | it simultaneously with GnuPG's encryption will give you the best results.</p> |
| 171 | |
| 172 | <p>To have your email program send and receive email over Tor, install the <a |
| 173 | href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/torbirdy/">Torbirdy |
| 174 | plugin</a> by searching for it through Add-ons.</p> |
| 175 | |
| 176 | <p>Before beginning to check your email over Tor, make sure you understand <a |
| 177 | href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#WhatProtectionsDoesTorProvide"> |
| 178 | the security tradeoffs involved</a>. This <a |
| 179 | href="https://www.eff.org/pages/tor-and-https">infographic</a> from our |
| 180 | friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation demonstrates how Tor keeps |
| 181 | you secure.</p> |
