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

82 <h3>Get your friends involved
</h3>
83 <p><strong>This is the single biggest thing you can do to promote email encryption.
</strong></p>
85 <p>Before you close this guide, use
<a href=
"https://fsf.org/share?u=https://u.fsf.org/zb&t=Encrypt with me using Email Self-Defense %40fsf">our sharing page
</a> to compose a message to a few friends and ask them to join you in using encrypted email. Remember to include your
<a href=
"index.html#section4">GnuPG public key ID
</a> so they can easily download your key.
</p>
87 <p>It's also great to add your public key fingerprint to your email signature so that people you are corresponding with know you accept encrypted email.
</p>
89 <p class=
"notes">We recommend you even go a step further and add it to your social media profiles, blog, Website, or business card. (At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours on our
<a href=
"https://fsf.org/about/staff">staff page
</a>.) We need to get our culture to the point that we feel like something is missing when we see an email address without a public key fingerprint.
