35 <h3>Join the movement
</h3>
37 <p>You've just taken a huge step towards protecting your privacy online. But each of us
38 acting alone isn't enough. To topple bulk surveillance, we need to build a movement for the
39 autonomy and freedom of all computer users. Join the Free Software Foundation's community
40 to meet like-minded people and work together for change.

82 <p><strong>This is the single biggest thing you can do to promote email
83 encryption.

85 <p>Before you close this guide, use
<a
86 href=
"https://fsf.org/share?u=https://u.fsf.org/zb&t=Encrypt with me using Email
87 Self-Defense %40fsf">our sharing page
</a> to compose a message to a few friends
88 and ask them to join you in using encrypted email. Remember to include your
<a
89 href=
"index.html#section4">GnuPG public key ID
</a> so they can easily download your key.
</p>
91 <p>It's also great to add your public key fingerprint to your email signature so that
92 people you are corresponding with know you accept encrypted email.
</p>
94 <p class=
"notes">We recommend you even go a step further and add it to your social media
95 profiles, blog, Website, or business card. (At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours
96 on our
<a href=
"https://fsf.org/about/staff">staff page
</a>.) We need to get our culture
97 to the point that we feel like something is missing when we see an email address without
98 a public key fingerprint.
