Hello Tor,

In September, comms:

• continued to support Sarah with the EOY fundraising campaign, and we are now finalizing some final pieces before the launch
• worked with several teams to write copy for and promote the TBA alpha launch
• started working with The Berkeley Group on a brand perception study, the results of which could help us shape our future messaging
• started collecting stories on how using Tor has helped people to include in upcoming campaigns and materials
• promoted events including the Open Hack Days, Toronto Public Library Digital Privacy Expo, and others
• planned for 2019 campaigns
