Re: [tor-project] Campaign Update and Request

Thank you to the volunteers who have agreed to record a thank you video. We wanted to make it a bit easier in hopes we can get more participation. If you don’t have time to make a longer thank-you video, can you take a short clip of yourself saying thank you in the language of your choice? Steph will make a compilation video that we will share on social media.

Hello Tor!

As you know, our EOY campaign, Take back the internet with Tor, launched this past Monday. We are seeing great engagement and have raised over $20,000 so far. In addition to almost 500 single gifts, we have had 24 people sign up as new recurring donors.

This is all without the campaign content on about:tor which launches next Monday. Last year we launched all the content on the same day and we received 100 fewer gifts in the first four days than we received this Monday through Thursday.

Help us keep up this momentum by sharing the campaign content with your networks.

Many thanks to the 'money machine’, Steph, Jon, Antonela, Alon, and the Tor Browser and Metrics teams for working on different aspects of the campaign.

Now I have a specific request. The week of US Thanksgiving, we are going to post a series of ‘thank you’ videos on social media. We would love to have a variety of languages represented in these videos. Isa put together two rough examples so you can have a sense of what we are looking for.

If you would like to participate, please let me know.

Have a wonderful weekend!
