[tor-project] May and June Communications Report

[Stephanie A. Whited]

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:

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.
