+You've now completed the basics of email encryption with GnuPG, taking +action against bulk surveillance. These next steps will help make the most +of the work you've done.
+
+# Use our sharing page to compose
+a message to a few friends and ask them to join you in using encrypted
+email. Remember to include your GnuPG public key fingerprint so they can
+easily download your key.
+# Add your public key fingerprint anywhere that you normally display
+your email address. Some good places are: your email signature (the text
+kind, not the cryptographic kind), social media profiles, blogs, Web sites,
+or business cards. At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours on our staff page.

+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.

- Understanding and setting up email encryption is a daunting task for +many. To welcome them, make it easy to find your public key and offer to +help with encryption. Here are some suggestions:
-Teach your friends with our workshop guide
-Understanding and setting up email encryption sounds like a daunting task to many people. That's why helping your friends with GnuPG plays such an important role in spreading encryption. Read Email Self-Defense's guide to leading workshops and put it to use!

+Spread the word
+Protect more of your digital life

-Before you close this guide, use our sharing page to compose a message to a few friends and ask them to join you in using encrypted email. Remember to include your GnuPG public key ID so they can easily download your key.
+If you are using Windows, Mac OS or any other proprietary operating +system, we recommend you switch to a free software operating system like +GNU/Linux. This will make it much harder for attackers to enter your computer +through hidden back doors. Check out the Free Software Foundation's endorsed versions of +GNU/Linux.
-It's also great to add your public key fingerprint to your email signature so that people you are corresponding with know that you accept encrypted email (we're not referring here to your cryptographic signature, but rather the one that your email program can create by default, which normally includes your name). 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 staff page. 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.

+Optional: Add more email protection with Tor
+The Onion Router +(Tor) network wraps Internet communication in multiple layers of encryption +and bounces it around the world several times. When used properly, Tor confuses +surveillance field agents and the global surveillance apparatus alike. Using +it simultaneously with GnuPG's encryption will give you the best results.
+To have your email program send and receive email over Tor, install the Torbirdy +plugin by searching for it through Add-ons.
-
+
+Before beginning to check your email over Tor, make sure you understand +the security tradeoffs involved. This infographic from our +friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation demonstrates how Tor keeps +you secure.
