+
+Every dollar donated to the Tor Project now through December 31, up to $100,000, will be matched by Friends of Tor (https://torproject.org/donate/donate-usetor-tn-fot). That means your donation will be doubled. We’re able to offer this match because of generous folks in our community who believe in Tor, privacy online, and the work to resist the surveillance pandemic.
+

+
+### You're Invited: PrivChat with Edward Snowden
+
+The Tor Project's main mission is to advance human rights and freedoms by creating and deploying free and open source anonymity and privacy technologies. People use our technology, namely the Tor network and Tor Browser, in diverse ways. Tor is used by whistleblowers who need a safe way to bring to light information about wrongdoing -- information that is crucial for society to know -- without sharing their identity. Tor is used by activists around the world who are fighting against authoritarian governments and to defend human rights, not only for their safety and anonymity, but also to circumvent internet censorship so their voices can be heard.
+
+For our third edition of PrivChat (https://torproject.org/privchat), we are bringing you some real-life Tor users who will share how Tor has been important for them and their work to defend human rights and freedoms around the world. Hosted by Edward Snowden, featuring technoligist and privacy research Ramy Raoof and librarian and founder of Library Freedom Project, Alison Macrina.
+
+Join us for PrivChat: Advancing Human Rights with Tor on December 11 at 18:00 UTC, 13:00 Eastern, 10:00 Pacific: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2N3GoewgC8

+With COVID-19 pandemic this year, we didn’t have the chance to ‘tour’ our State of the Onion during any face-to-face conferences. So we decided to bring the State of the Onion to you in virtual format.
+

+We publish all of our related tax documents for transparency (https://www.torproject.org/about/reports/). After completing standard audits for 2017-2018 and for 2019, our federal tax filings and audits for the last two years are available in full on our website. We've outlined some observations to help you read through the 2018 and 2019 financial documents on our blog: https://blog.torproject.org/transparency-openness-and-our-2018-and-2019-financials.

+After many months of design and development we are very happy to announce the release of Tor Browser 10.0.3 for Android. This is the first Android Tor Browser version in the stable 10.0 series. The Desktop version was released at the end of September. We began working on this project in April 2020 with the goal of rebuilding the Android Tor Browser on top of Mozilla's new Android Firefox Browser, Fenix. Over the last six months, we successfully achieved this goal and we reached feature parity with the previous Android Tor Browser version.
