EFF has launched their advocacy campaign for getting more Tor relays running at universities:
Cooper has posted an update on how the campaign is going: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/11/tor-university-challenge-first-semeste...
Highlights include:
* we have made contact with more already-existing relays at universities,
* we now have some new relays running at universities,
* and we have made better contact with European NRENs (the national-level university internet connectivity organizations), particularly the ones in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Greece.
So: if you are at a university, or you know somebody who is and want to help them, please consider setting up relays there. It can be anything from an exit relay (the most useful to Tor users, but the most work in terms of local advocacy and relationship-building), to a non-exit relay (still very useful to Tor users, because we need more network diversity), to a non-NATed Snowflake bridge (currently used most by people in Iran to get around their censorship and reach the Tor network).
This part is still true! No time like the present to get involved. :)
