<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;
color: rgb(58, 7, 9);">EFF is about to roll out a campaign to
encourage organizations and individuals to run Tor relays.
For those of you that don't know, Tor is software and a
network of </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">volunteers
worldwide that help people be anonymous online by masking IP
addresses. Individuals (like many bloggers in authoritarian
regimes) need the Tor network to communicate safely.
Unfortunately, the people who need Tor the most are often not
in a position to run Tor relays and contribute to the Tor
network. Those of us who care deeply about online privacy can
make a tangible impact by participating in the Tor network.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;
color: rgb(58, 7, 9);">EFF is reaching out to privacy and free
speech organizations and asking them to join us in helping to
grow the Tor network. We're hoping that by working together
as a movement, we can make a significant impact in the size of
the Tor network - and help people worldwide safeguard their
online privacy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;
color: rgb(58, 7, 9);">To participate, organizations need to
set up a Tor relay. All relays count, including exit nodes,
bridges and middle nodes. EFF has created an instructional
video on setting up a Tor relay and we're updating our legal
FAQ to provide a more detailed analysis about how U.S. law
applies to Tor. Check out the video here: <a

<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;
color: rgb(58, 7, 9);">Organizations that participate in our
challenge will be thanked on our social media accounts and
promoted on our website. We are emailing you now because we'd
like to give the human rights community a head-start. It's
our hope that when we roll out this campaign next week, the
initial participants will be the many organizations in the
human rights community who are working hard to defend human
rights on the Internet.<br>
