May and June Communications Report

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. Isa talked about Tor and privacy at Bitcoin Conference 2019: https://youtu.be/o9Vvj1lMaDM 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.
