  58 <p>You've just taken a huge step towards protecting your privacy online. But
  59 each of us acting alone isn't enough. To topple bulk surveillance, we need
  60 to build a movement for the autonomy and freedom of all computer users. Join

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

 141 <h3>Protect more of your digital life</h3>
 142
 143 <p>Learn surveillance-resistant technologies for instant
 144 messages, hard drive storage, online sharing, and more at <a

 146 the Free Software Directory's Privacy Pack</a> and <a
 147 href="https://prism-break.org">prism-break.org</a>.</p>
 148
 149 <p>If you are using Windows, Mac OS or any other proprietary operating
 150 system, we recommend you switch to a free software operating system like
 151 GNU/Linux. This will make it much harder for attackers to enter your computer
 152 through hidden back doors. Check out the Free Software Foundation's <a
 153 href="https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html">endorsed versions of
 154 GNU/Linux.</a></p>

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