#1 Get your friends or community interested

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.

Each person who chooses to resist mass surveillance with encryption makes it easier for others to resist as well. People normalizing the use of strong cryptography has multiple powerful effects: It means those that truly need it, like potential whistle-blowers and activists, are more likely to learn about it. More people using it for more things also makes it harder for surveillance systems to single out those that can't afford to be found, and shows solidarity with those people.
