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

90 <h3>Bring Email Self-Defense to new people
</h3>
92 <p>Understanding and setting up email encryption is a daunting task for
93 many. To welcome them, make it easy to find your public key and offer to
94 help with encryption. Here are some suggestions:
</p>
97 <li>Lead an Email Self-Defense workshop for your friends and community,
98 using our
<a href=
"workshops.html">teaching guide
</a>.
</li>
100 <li>Use
<a href=
"https://fsf.org/share?u=https://u.fsf.org/zb&t=Encrypt
101 with me using Email Self-Defense %40fsf">our sharing page
</a> to compose
102 a message to a few friends and ask them to join you in using encrypted
103 email. Remember to include your GnuPG public key fingerprint so they can
104 easily download your key.
</li>
106 <li>Add your public key fingerprint anywhere that you normally display
107 your email address. Some good places are: your email signature (the text
108 kind, not the cryptographic kind), social media profiles, blogs, Websites,
109 or business cards. At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours on our

148 it simultaneously with GnuPG's encryption will give you the best results.
