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

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

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

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

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