<br><br>Hi friends,<br>
<br>
EFF is about to roll out a campaign to encourage organizations and<br>
individuals to run Tor relays. For those of you that don't know, Tor is<br>
software and a network of volunteers worldwide that help people be<br>
anonymous online by masking IP addresses. Individuals (like many bloggers<br>
in authoritarian regimes) need the Tor network to communicate safely.<br>
Unfortunately, the people who need Tor the most are often not in a<br>
position to run Tor relays and contribute to the Tor network. Those of us<br>
who care deeply about online privacy can make a tangible impact by<br>
participating in the Tor network.<br>
<br>
EFF is reaching out to privacy and free speech organizations and asking<br>
them to join us in helping to grow the Tor network. We're hoping that by<br>
working together as a movement, we can make a significant impact in the<br>
size of the Tor network - and help people worldwide safeguard their online<br>
privacy.<br>
<br>
To participate, organizations need to set up a Tor relay. All relays<br>
count, including exit nodes, bridges and middle nodes. EFF has created an<br>
instructional video on setting up a Tor relay and we're updating our legal<br>
FAQ to provide a more detailed analysis about how U.S. law applies to Tor.<br>
Check out the video here: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jmj4bILqiY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jmj4bILqiY</a><br>
<br>
Organizations that participate in our challenge will be thanked on our<br>
social media accounts and promoted on our website. We are emailing you<br>
now because we'd like to give the human rights community a head-start.<br>
It's our hope that when we roll out this campaign next week, the initial<br>
participants will be the many organizations in the human rights community<br>
who are working hard to defend human rights on the Internet.<br>
<br>
Please contact Rainey Reitman, EFF Activism Director (<a href="mailto:rainey@eff.org">rainey@eff.org</a>) and<br>
Eva Galperin (<a href="mailto:eva@eff.org">eva@eff.org</a>) about this campaign and please do not hesitate<br>
to ask her any questions about the campaign. And, please do not promote<br>
this campaign out of this list until we launch next week. Thanks!<br>
