<p>Each year, the Tor Project holds a fundraiser during which we ask for financial support. Donations make it possible for the Tor Project to build tools powered by people—not profit. Now is a great time to give and spread the word about the Tor Project <a href="https://torproject.org/donate/donate-tn1-2023">because through the end of the year, all donations will be matched</a> by our supporters at <a href="https://powerupprivacy.com/">Power Up Privacy.</a></p>

<p><strong>That means when you donate $25, you’re making a $50 impact. Plus, we’ve introduced a brand-new item to our list of gifts you can receive in return for making a donation. 👀</strong></p>

<h2>Distribute(d) Trust – The key to global encryption access</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For many vulnerable Internet users, the Tor network is the only way to gain access to encrypted services. It's made possible by relay operators, the thousands of volunteers who donate their time, technical expertise, and hardware.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For a deeper look at the motivations and challenges of this community, we spoke with two researchers, Ana Custura and Victoria Neumann, who shared findings from their recent study on the <a href="https://www.sr2.uk/reports/2024-TorRelayOperatorCommunityHealth.pdf">Relay Operator Community Health.</a> And Gus, Tor's Community Team lead, hosted a roundtable discussion with individual and institutional relay operators to learn more about the ins and outs of powering a safer, more equitable internet.</p>
|
