<p><a href=https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en>The Onion Router (Tor) network</a> 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.</p>
<p>To have your email program send and receive email over Tor, install the <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/torbirdy/">Torbirdy plugin</a> the same way you installed Enigmail, by searching for it through Add-ons.</p>

</p><p>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 helping spread encryption. Even if only one person shows up, that's still one more person using encryption who wasn't before. You have the power to help your friends keep their digital love letters private, and teach them about the importance of free software. If you use GnuPG to send and receive encrypted email, you're a perfect candidate for leading a workshop!</p>

<h2><em>#1</em> Get your friends or community interested </h2> <p>If you hear friends grumbling about their lack of privacy, ask them if they're interested in attending a workshop on Email Self-Defense. If your friends don't grumble about privacy, they may need some convincing. You might even hear the classic "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear" argument against using encryption.</p>
<p>Here are some talking points you can use to help explain why it's worth it to learn GnuPG. Mix and match whichever you think will make sense to your community:</p>
