Hello Tor,

In May, we held a fundraising event in NYC.

The Tor Project received quite a bit of press for OONI, Tor Browser on Android, and private browser recommendations.

In June, we showed our pride across channels.

We prepped for upcoming donor campaigns and DEF CON. A volunteer created a custom badge for us at DEF CON in August where we'll be a vendor, and Roger will give a mainline talk.

We surpassed 300,000 followers on Twitter and continue to grow across other platforms.

During both months, we held several promotions for swag at a discounted donation on social media. Plus, we're continuing to work with the community team on the next website portal launch.
