[tor-relays] Responding to Tor censorship in Russia



Dear relay operators,

Today the torproject.org was officially blocked in Russia. You can read
more about the situation here[1].

Russia is the country with the second largest number of Tor users, with
more than 300,000 daily users or 15% of all Tor users. 

As it seems this situation could quickly escalate to a country-wide Tor
block, it's urgent that we respond to this censorship! 

We need your help NOW to keep Russians connected to Tor!

We are calling on everyone to spin up a Tor bridge.

If you've ever considered running a bridge, now is an excellent time to
get started, as your help is urgently needed. You can find the
requirements and instructions for starting a bridge in the Help Censored
Users, Run a Tor Bridge blog post: https://blog.torproject.org/run-a-bridge-campaign/
